The 'E' Type Forum

Nearly but not quite a year since I first got my car.
Except for the engine, I seem to have had most of the car apart.
Rewire, convert to RHD, brakes, clutch, alternator, radiator, IRS, fuel system, bearings, BJs and UJs, carb rebuild, new floor and on and on. All thoroughly enjoyable.
Out for a wee shake down this eve, successful as I drove back home too.
Blinking voltmeter, showed me that the battery was not charging, my meter confirmed this, hmm. Connections seem tight. May need another new 4TR ?
Engine would not cleanly rev thro, at 2000rpm I got hesitation and backfire thro carbs. Fuel ? Will check the glass filter and then fuel pump, tank filter in the morn.
I am a very happy chappy,

had that experience about 4 years ago. fantastic isn't it. its just going to get better as you get to know your car and sort through the niggles

Yup, agreed once it's working it just gets better & better, enjoy the journey !

Thanks guys, my work list seems to be as long now as it was when I first started.
Onwards, dry roads ahead.
