[quote="MelloYello"]As the engine was away this gave me time to look at some of the other bits under the hood.

The weber carb was looking tired so I sent it off for a refurb. Mainly for peace of mind that it was all working nicely when the time comes to start it up again.

Nice; Who did the re furb, and would you recommend ?
When in doubt....hit the gas.
22 7's in the yard makes me a collector...not a redneck.

It was Paul @ http://weber-carbs.co.uk/

Fantastic service, great communications, plenty of photos. He will take on most carbs, just ask.
My carb was not standard so a little more tricky, but he just got on with it.
