I had a VERY unproductive weekend. For some reason, my engine would not want to start. Oh, one of those days when everything had to go wrong. Even the nut that locks the carb came out ! By sheer luck, it fell on my starter box. Phew !

And to top it all of, I had to lock my wifey out at the back garden as I was about to leave the house for the track. Poor wifey did not know and only after I had reached the track that she had to make a distress call to my neighbour to get me to come home and rescue wifey. Kinda appropriate to be talking about wifeys at the end of the weekend.
Yow! Hmmm, car stuff sound like my experience last monday My car wouldn't start, then kept stalling as I tried to get out of the pit. Not matter of adjusting the mixture helped. Changed the plug then it was ok, but then the rear belt shredded . I changed the belt, then the engine wouldn't pull any more - sounded too rich, but them temp was up around 115C After the engine hit 150C I decided it was a bad idea to continue.
I took everything to bits at home and couldn't find any problems
Well, I've cleaned everything now and hopefully it will sort itself out

This weekend was very unproductive for me, too - GF birthday party and rain the whole time May still get out before flying to the UK to kicks Sows......
