Well, i've had it finished and registered for about a month now, just doing short trips with the phone no. of the local tow truck in my tool box just in case, but have had no probs, it starts first go and needs no choke even after a week, if i could find a cheap second project I'd grab it, anyway I'm off to Vanuatu next week, I think it was a U.S. Pacific base in WW2 so I'll be looking for all sorts of old stuff...
