    Not that I expect to still be driving in 10 years time. Lol.

  • anamnesis22 June 2026

    Hah. I thought at first glance it was a nuke burst.

    Well actually I guess it is really. 'Continuous' and bigger than anything we can set off; --- so far.

    Not drift Willy. It's all connected. We're waiting for another rising sun. Burnham. Will he burn hot or cold?

    And will there be an explosion of hate and rage in Labour? Will Starmer force a leadership vote?

    I like drif...

    in 10 years just getting one might be difficult.


    Yep, very good point.

  • GuyW22 June 2026

    I have never added a fuel filter on my Spridgets. I don't believe UK fuel makes it necessary, though a rusted fuel tank may do so! Anyway all of the glass or plastic ones I have seen always have air in them which doesn't seem to impact on the fuel delivery. It makes me wonder if, with the engine running and a large air bubble visible in the filter glass, could the vibration make it look like this ...

    up she comes-
    camera almost makes the second pic. look like the sun is melting and dripping back in the water---to me anyway through my warped eyes.

    I've just got back from down at the beach this morning and it's that calm that there's not a sign of a wave ,the water is just sitting there like a big sheet no ripples -nothing, if this is winter I can take it every day of the week thank...

    Nice to hear from you Nick, it's been a while... Sorry you had to be recovered. Ethanol, that Grey referred to, might also have attacked the rubber pipes feeding and linking the carbs - I've had that.

  • Malc Gilliver21 June 2026

    Thanks Anam,

    I am hoping to finally have access to the ramp in my unit next week, so will tackle the Sprite then I am tempted by the MLS Victor Reinz gasket - back when I worked at Ford in 2005 they supplied some stuff back then, very German - for good and bad reasons, might also grab a cheap one as next time ( I hope ) in 10 years just getting one might be difficult

    You have a good memory Nick. That was a long time ago! It was definitely a plastic carrier bag. Though I couldn't now say if it was Sainsbury's. It could have been Waitrose. Certainly a 'better class of carrier bag" as it lasted pretty well.

    The overflow from the rear carb has rubber pipe that is often tucked into the cut out in that triangular reinforcing panel so excess petrol could we...

    I had a problem with the B sucking air. There was a pin-hole in the pipe from the tank, where it went over the axle. It was right at the very top.

  • Dave O'Neill 221 June 2026

    “… and shaping up to be hottest June on record”

    I wonder if it’s averaged across the whole month? I had to turn the heating back on two weeks ago, it was that flipping cold. 🥶
