Where do I begin?

Lets get it fired up first.

I was told it was running by the last custodian, but, he couldn't get it fired up again when it came to advertising it. A cursory glance showed fuel hoses looking a bit sorry, with at least one leaking. An easy 5 minute fix to replace two pipes and four clips.

OK, so the hose clips are not OE and they are  a bit OTT, but I did warn the purists.

One of the fuel taps appears to have been..............repaired? I'm still not sure why there are two supplies entering the Amal carb via a banjo set up. I can only find reference to the right hand side tap in the manual. Please feel free to comment at the bottom of the page.

The left hand side tap looks to be sealed with some rubber material. Looks like I'll be draining the tank as well.

...................... and then there's the wiring.

Wiring. Not my strong point, but I know these two didn't leave the factory the same colour.

My favourite. Cheap, poor fitting spade connectors, insulating tape and replacement wiring the wrong colour.

 Not knowing what was done, or more importantly, why, I'm almost loathed to connect this lot all up, although It does appear to be limited to rectifier and battery.

I wonder what's under this?

Taken from the owners manual, the wiring diagram may prove valuable, unless previous "changes" are deeper than first realized.

A bit of basic photo editing and its just about readable.

I've also discovered that neither of my battery charger/conditioners are suitable for a 6v battery, and my tool kit has just one Whitworth spanner (at least I have some Imperial AF tools) and no sockets.
