Anyway -how did your recent engine rebuild go ?

It's all back together but I can't get the bloody thing to fire up. Thought it might my be down to old fuel. Tried fresh fuel and a new set of plugs and still no joy. I have spark on all 6 plugs, I have compression and I have fuel in the carbs but it still wont fire.

I need to re check the ignition timing again, but thanks for asking

On that same topic, I recently saw a CNN news report in which someone from Scotland was being interviewed. Even though he was speaking English, his accent was so thick that CNN included subtitles so we Yanks could understand what he was saying . . .

We sometimes have difficulty with the Scottish and Irish accents. Some of them can speak English really quickly with very strong accents to them
