Hi BB,
Thanks for the welcome and the advice.
Speaking to my dad who �spent many hours behind that machine� the engine is original. My grandfather loved a good tin of paint so I�m not surprised that it�s not the original colour (but I�m surprised that it�s not his favourite tone of dark brown). I�ll clean and take photos of the inside chain cover to see if that still has original paint.
I have had the plug out and the sprak looks great so I�ll continue with the carby and fuel tank for now. The gaskets and the fuel pump diaphragm look like they need replacing so I�ll just go with a full carby kit and get it back in tip top shape, hopefully by this weekend. I�ll update here when I get some more progress.
Meanwhile, I�m going to search through my grandads manuals to see if I can find the original Scotty manual. Fingers crossed!
Cheers,
Aerrow
