The carb problems were an easy fix - the choke levers were misaligned, it was jumped out of cam/rail on 2 carbs, and the rearmost throttle flap misses its closing spring. Did some adjustements, fine.
Then I had a stable idle at 1300. Despite some clutch problems (I did bleed it but I had to pump 2times to get it to work every time), I put the front center gear into position (push leaver forward whilst pumping left foot was all I could do), and let her fly.
Whow. It is a bloody fast thing, this. Goes like a rattle snake. Above 1500, push pedal down (I must cut my shoes smaller), the the rear end flings around on the gravel.
All 4 tyres half-flat, ++40 yrs old, hard like rocks, of course, no bonnet fitted, no rear bench so IRS visibly inside :-), what a day.
To round it of, I went home. Made myself a chicken curry with spicey potatoe wedges, and will get a glass of sweet red whine (yes, thats me taking, really).

After 2 rounds, I made my own diff filling device - I see no other way to fill it down there.
Must now fine -tune it, carbs are out of sync, and get the bloody clutch thing to work.
