Last night, after we replaced the upper fuel pump diaphragm, the carb was leaking fuel like crazy. I opened it up and everything was clean as a whistle. The float was set way too high, so I lowered them and put it all back together. Tonight, we went back and I reinstalled it, and after a few fits, starts and farts, the engine fired up. It will need a tune up, but no ominous sounds at all and it runs pretty evenly. Here's video of the engine firing up and of Rose taking her Mum out for a spin in the orchard. We are SO chuffed..... this is way cool..... More to come! John Pictures here
