The Imp Springs

Fan heater for a couple of hours on the Imp, while I packed away the E-type bubble and I even mopped the base to clean it a bit.

Then starting process for the Imp. 4 Squirts of oil in each of the rocker box covers on the valve rocker arms. Top up the oil (1/2 pint). Cleaned off the fur from the water pipe and topped up the radiator to the max.

Then stared it up almost first try. After warming it up I tried to let it idle but it would not play ball - so I adjusted the two screws on the carbs (1/2 a turn each) to up the tick-over slightly. Then it was fine.

I let it warm move and was about to move it out of the garage only to find water pouring onto the floor.

Umm - looks like I put too much water in the radiator as the water was coming from the expansion pipe. A short run cleared out the excess (nice wave from a chap in a van) and it had stopped dripping so I finished packing everything away.

Then E-Type for a full run around the block with only one small roadworks to contend with. Seemed to be going better than yesterday too. So packed that away as well.

Then evening utility run in the Mk7 for an Escape Room and Curry.
