[QUOTE="Kid Eager, post: 146955, member: 5219"] Thanks for your prompt helpful replies, guys. We put oil in the plug hole with the intention of leaving it for a couple of days, but the next day the boss said he was too impatient to see if it turns over. Eased it over turning the back wheel, then the boss said it’s kickstart time. Engine oil is low in tank, so will drain crankcase and flush with diesel. Have not got a spanner for the oil filter yet but inspection ports all loose. Need an oil filter too but will carry on with flush regardless until we get that. I need to replace fuel hoses, will add in-line filters as tap filters disintegrated. Looks like 3 in-line filters owing to the plumbing? I have a vintage brass ear syringe for quill squirting. Fuel tank now clean, taps work and no fuel leak thus far. I bet the carbies leak though! Tomorrow I’ll take my reading glasses, magnifying glass, emery paper and metho. Points don’t look corroded but it’s dark and awkward down there. Thanks again, I’ll ask the boss if I can take photos for you. Oh, I’m at a remote outpost of the Empire a few thousand km from Adelaide. For all we know there isn’t another Vincent anywhere remotely close. [/QUOTE]
