Just wanted to post a thank you to John Rapinette and Mal Owen's from the NSW FE-FC club.... the guys came around to my place yesterday to help me get my old wagon started.
I've been tinkering away for a few months whenever I got a chance, trying to get her started after apparently she'd been sitting in a garage since 1969... It seemed to me to be so close to firing, but I just couldn't get it.
A little embarrassing that it only took the guys around 40 minutes or so to get her going, but their knowledge and know-how was very impressive...!!
She was a little rough at first (naturally), but after a bit more tinkering, and a bit more of a run, I reckon it sounded much better.... I was just happy to hear that sweet sound of a Grey Motor ticking over.... (the guys here at work are hastling me for listening to these clips over and over
).
I've tried to post a few clips for 'ya, so hopfully they work...
Just started (1.2MB):

Thanks again John and Mal for your help... it was very much appreciated...!!!
Cheers
Les....
