Good point. I'll have to check that later.
I'm off to a car show in the Perentie.

Wasp/birds nest in the air intake ?.

Mick, I've found on mine that when left for a while, it will need to crank for ages to start. One of the reasons I run it every week or so. If your batteries now down a bit, give it a good charge and try again. Bursts of about 10 seconds at a time with a good pause in between will save your starter from melting.

I would, Rod, but I'm having trouble getting it on the trailer.

The Perentie is doing today's duties. Oddly, it's not getting much attention as my mate has his 1914 Vermorel parked nearby.
Oh, well, next year the 101 will draw massive crowds.

That's it! The fuel tank in bone dry. Either someone has syphoned my fuel or my tank has sprung a leak.
Could have been the former. Next doors Commodore was stolen a couple of weeks ago.

Glad it was something simple Mick...
