Two weeks to Mallory Park so I needed to fire her up. Sammy Miller kindly let me use his place before it opened to the public and she started easily enough - great. However the museum car park is not big enough to get out of first gear so a bit limiting. Now, I need some advice please:
1. The GP carburettor is leaking a tiny bit at the bottom i.e. banjo which has two fiber washers and jet holder cover nut which appears to have a no gasket)
2. Selecting first gear was mostly OK but sometimes it went in with a horrible crunch. The box has been rebuilt by Geoff Nunn so I know it's OK - must be something I'm doing wrong
3. The front brake, a standard twin leading shoe appears really weak - does it work better when hot i.e. at a proper speed?
Sammy said the GP carb leak is "normal" and he slackened off my front brake adjuster. Any other suggestions welcome.
