where my Green Mini Special has been parked since the summer of 2007.
I took a 220 volt compressor with me, and a long extension cable.
Found a flat 2 stairs up, where they 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
Friday I drove her to the workshop, for the later changes .
