I've just ran it on a jerry can of 101 octane race fuel and it runs very well, occasionally splutters and it didn't like throttle for the first minute or so but I can forgive that when it hasn't run for so long. After about two minutes it was running fine and revs to 6k happily.

Right then, time for the rest of the restoration then, it's only a wedding marathon and an entire suspension and brakes overhaul... What could possibly go wrong?

Thanks Chris

Maybe in a couple of years it will join us on the cheddar gorge run! That's my goal, it will be 40 so tax and MOT exempt too which will be the cherry on top.
