Working on the inevitable snags this morning.
After filling the car on the way back from the body shop the running fell off a cliff with a return of FNC's classic rough running. A combination of aged petrol getting a good stir up plus dust from lots of spraying and rubbing down seemed the prime suspects, though funny it ran fine for the 15 minutes to the station.
The jets had a good soak in solvent, the carburetor got a big spray of cleaner then everything back together with new plugs and fuel filter element. Started up fine and ran without lumps until the choke dropped out and I had no idle. 10 minutes juggling the mixture and idle screws seems to have sorted things, but it's bizarre how fixed points like this could fall out of adjustment.
The other more prosaic job was to fit the OS door lock button. The trim was broken and as I thought I had a decent one in my stash I declined having the broken one glued in. In the end though my stash trim was also missing a prong so not much better. Anyway, the button is fitted now and I left the garage in a much better mood.
I'm helping my friend with her Fulvia tomorrow, so might do the 30+ mile round trip in the Beta as a test run for Saturday.....
