Nice work, hope you cleared out that intake elbow and TB! I'll have to pop by and have a look again after we're allowed to!
Yeah the elbow and throttle body got a VERY good clean out after that crap!

So close. Hoping to get the diff set up with the help of a friend over the next week or so. Then it'll just be install it all back on the car! I will post a proper update once its back on
Ordered some new gilmer belts as I have gone EWP and needed a shorter belt. Had a leaking fuel hose when I primed my pumps. The quality of fuel hose on the market is so dangerous . 2 completely different hoses I have had to replace. Both 1 year old (8mm and AN6). Decent stuff also! Made up a new hose. Managed to start it up for the first time since around September. Lots of 2 stroke burning off . Premixed quite a lot also. No idle control either, but that doesn't matter after 30 seconds haha. Revving up to about 4500 or so.
