Running problem fix I think
Been having problems with the mini engine again. I know it hasn't been on the road for a long time but I still like to keep her ticking over. Been having problems with her cutting out. I resantly not it's a squeak coming from the alternator and then the Battery isn't charging. She's making just over 12 volt when running. But she seams to be running smother now. Next thing to do is get new alternator and see if makes any difference. Also oil change and colour tune her again.

Batted speedo.
I have managed to get hold of a 3 clock speedo to replace the old 2 clock that is in was looking for a rev counter by itself but it not cheep, found this used on on eBay for cheep. The housing is a bit smashed in spots but going to use the housing from my speedo and go from there, as long as I haven't just got a Rev that don't work! Hope to hick it up soon and see if it works and if she will start. Others than that I'm afraid there has been no more work. Getting all the parts but no time. Will post pics later in next post of speedos.
