there is a bit of fiddling reassembling the wings as there is a lot of wracking that can occurQuote:

I think the key is keep top of wing and side at ninety degrees before tightening the bolts
Cheers, just done that bit, wasn’t too bad but to be fair in all of the welding and shrinking I had been test fitting the panels a fair bit.
Hopefully all will be sorted today

Don’t think I could get him much straighter

Well that was the success, but I’m now having engine trouble. Looking for some suggestions.
He was running beautifully, but I could see a leak from the main jet, but a big leak around the manifold join, fuel would leak out under acceleration.
So took the carb out last night, replaced washer on main jet and flattened base and packer, put it all back together but now he will only run on half choke.
I’ve checked for leaks, nothing, recleaned jets but he just dies on idle.
Bit stumped!
It may be sucking air in somewhere?
If you can get it to idle and spray starter fluid around the intake manifold/carby area. If it’s sucking air the revs will increase when you’re near the leak...
Thanks, done that so I know it’s leak free, hence the confusion.
I’m thinking, not checked yet, but I now reckon the float might be stuck down (or the valve)
Well if it doesn’t run, at least it’s looking bloody good!
Thank you!Quote:

It seems the holes in the gasket do have to line up with the ones in the carburettor
I’ve had a great day.... just been to buy some magnetic fender covers to protect the wings.... got half way home before I remembered.
mmm , screw 'em down.
or glue 'em down.
If you just use a spray bottle of water you will get same result & no chance of a fire. [biggrin]Quote:
