And just a bit exhausted too... hard twizzling her round for ages on end trying to bleed the fuel system. Interestingly, I don't get what I would call a "creak" out of the injector, more of a short "pfftz" noise. You can't hear it on the video over the noise of the image stabiliser.
In the end, I had to provide a gravity fuel feed, as the outet is on top of the filter housing (so filling up the filter bowl was never going to work!); due to time constraints, I used an old brake fluid resevoir which fitted quite nicely into the end of the fuel pipe which came with the Listers :
Anyway, she's going to need a good service before I use her in earnest. The oil is pretty awful - I dread to think how many years old it is. And having popped the top off the diesel filter for a looksee, there's lots of gunge in there too. Not to mention the fact I need to replace the washers, really, as there's a small leak from the banjo now (you can see the top of the filter glistening in the pic above.
I've a million questions already..... e.g.
- If I buy a set of Whitworth spanners (and I need to, as almost none of the ones I've got fit), will a set of 8 ala eBay do? Or should I be looking for 12, or more even?
- What's the knurled knob on the side of the rocker pivot arm?
More later....
