I connected a battery on Saturday to check the electrics out. I would say about 70% worked 1st time. Following some fettling that up to about 80 %.
The fuel gauge doesn't work (I suspect its the voltage regulator) and the wipers are also not working along with a few light.
Today I took the plunge and tried to start the engine. It did eventually fire up but it's only running on 6 cylinders. The front 2 on the right have a spark but I suspect no fuel. Its either the carb or the valves.
To top it off, the fuel pump sounds far too noisy and my starter button doesn't glow green but I am sure I can sort those all out in the coming weeks.
I will keep you all posted.
