In the garage today

Post by JC T ONE »

Hi all,

Today I pulled myself together, and went to my garage, where the Green Mini Special has been parked since the summer of 2008

I took a 220 volt compressor with me, and a long extension cable.

Found a flat 2 stairs up, where someone would let me borrow a socket, to plug in the compressor.

10 min later, and the wheels had air in them again.

checked oil & water, fitted a charged battery, then turned the engine on the start motor a bit,
without pulling the choke, so she could get some oil around the engine.
Sprayed some startgas into the airfilter, turned the key, and she startet right away.
I then checked if clutch & brakes worked ? and they did

so tomorrow she will be driven to the workshop, for the BIG changes .

Even remembered to make a video http://youtu.be/CZIBNnemI74
