Fool filter? What a pain in the arse. They must have had a laugh when they shoved that bloody filter under the tank and said 'loosena that you eenglisha git'. Lots of wd40 and swearing and a boot full of stale petrol when it came out. But the new one is in and I think the old one must be donkey years old. I undid the fuel tap and there was a dollop of rusty poop in there too. Fingers crossed it will run better. But I think the tank will need a proper cleaning soon. Hey ho

I made sure to drain the tank of all the fuel. I could hear rusty bits inside and try as I could I got some out but not all. I'll have to live with it. All back together and started up first prod with very little choke. Then off to filler her up with some new dinosaur juice and a run up and down the A11. Apart from one big hiccup and fart at 4000rpm she was fine. Yummy

I can't think what I haven't fixed/rebuilt/replaced/modded or had serviced. I'm sure there's something Luigi has in store. As regards France Graham, it might happen. But we (meaning she made me) are off to the good old US of A for our 25th wedding thingy next year. I might be skint! Queen Mary or Lusitania or summat.
