Following Howards take over of BB, I am really happy with his service since, he honoured the outstanding order which had been undelivered and supplied some really nice decals. I'm about to get my new clutch drive plates off him aswell- good show!

Thanks chaps, a few small school boy errors were to blame, namely; no air hole in my temporary fuel tank (bottle)- d'oh! Also the collection of new parts supplied by AMAL aren't really that good; The float and needle don't work when the washer is used with the fuel inlet, the float hits the top of t...

Hello chaps, right well I'm just starting to get frustrated now.....I've had the engine running on my '66 175 Silver for maybe a minute but only whilst holding my hand over the inlet and the throttle on about a 3rd.
