Thread: FFR Refurb

I'm about to book in for Corowa in March.
Only heading up for the parade & swap meet, stopping at a mates place at Springhurst. I'll trailer it up behind the MUX.

I'm very tempted to sell the FFR or at least look for expressions of interest. Difficult to know what it's worth as there are some silly prices coming up on MarketPlace.

It's been a long term project and since getting it finished I've only used it a few times. Club Permit is relatively cheap but insurance makes it expensive (along with 5 others !!)

There's a couple of 6-cylinder motors that can also be moved on if I sell it.

It went to Corowa last year and the Cranbourne ANZAC Day parade. I'll hopefully book it in for the ANZAC Day parade again and, with any luck, I can take the FFR and the IIa GS (if it's finished) for the local Scouts Dawn Service.

I got the FFR out to check it over and give it a wash ready for Corowa.

It starts & runs much better after ultrasonically cleaning the carby & putting a kit through it.

While it was drying I thought I'd get the IIa out and clean it.
Problem starting it as usual. After it's been left idle for a few months, the valves stick in the fuel pump !
Took the top off the carby, filled the float bowl it then started OK and it must be either the vibration or the rapid pumping of the fuel pump and it comes good.
A bit of shuffling to get it out of the shed due to a big pile of branches.

Washed a few years of dust off it.
If you look a the rear view you can see that the paint down the side has faded.
One of the last big jobs is to strip both sides of the tub & re-paint.

Lots of small things to finish off......
