Fuel line fix

Sunday June 1st

Installed new cross over fuel pipes bough a couple of years back from the garage sale down south.

Straightforward once the battery was out and the air filters removed.

I don't like the way the air filters are sucked in, suggests over restrictive.  Will have to think about that one.

What say you Mr Legg?

Oil change

27 May 2020

Ongoing lock down inhibiting any runs out.

Opened garage doors and started up.  All fine.

T3 happy in new home

Except bad leak from fuel pipe to LH carb.  Inspection revealed a lot of perish.  Attempt to fix only made it much worse, cracks open all over.  Not really full warmed up, but decided to drop the oil.  It was black.  About 2 litres came out.  Replaced with 2.5 litres approx., half way up the dipstick.



Only 314 miles since been properly on the road
Time to put an order in to Gutsibits.  Fuel pipes and any other bits and bobs for maintenance jobs.   I think I may get a gasket set and drop the sump to replace the filter on the next change.  Assuming I everget the mileage in.
