Needs more wet flatting but that's reasonable.

That was quite satisfying

That bit there came up ok. The back corner is a bit crap. I had spent the afternoon after work jetwashing the garden fence, and this was a bit of after dinner work. However, my arms were already tired, so I didn't get too far.

Phil thanks for a great thread, just read from start to finish. Love the fact these are so user serviceable too.
Just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in.

As a side note, I now have another carburetor. Time to clean it!
