Re: 22FZ questions.

IT RUNS!
Ether down the plug holes, into the inlet, full retard & choke and it ran for 5 seconds!
It did not want to repeat the experience, but a 12v battery spun it over and away it went.
Started ok then on 6v on the starter & the clutch seems to work. I have an oil pressure gauge fitted & that looks good, tomorrow I'll get it really warmed up. Engine sounds pretty quiet, albeit a bit of a clatter from the back.
Cleaning up the needle valve on the carb sorted the over fuelling
Thanks to all the gurus!
Now to deal with the DVLA & get it registered.........

Re: 22FZ questions.

Ah success, now don't just keep running it on the drive on idle, take it for a run round the block, when no one's about, to get the valves and rings working.

Re: 22FZ questions.

I have a cunning plan!
