Wounded, would love to go but I'm away at the TT races then

Don't get it there was loads of folks last year saying how good it was we have these amazing old skool Ford's that we're all rightly proud of I want to get out and use mine as much as possible I would like to get together with Mexican gerbil and maybe discuss a euro trip next year I'm sure it was him that mentioned it? I have a house in Hungary that I can use .....if it don't go ahead how about the people that do wanna go just find a campsite and book up individual but get together do the tour and have a dam good weekend

My brother is a member of old skool Ford and wants to do the tour but don't want to camp what does he need to do / pay ?

I think keep hold of them for now as not 100% sure what's happening if folks want me to try and organize or if a few of us organize or if someone else wants to do it just testing the waters really as to what's happening

Yeah defo coming to totm but Midlands to wales is normally mid May next year would be great to organize a euro trip a mate has a place in Hungary he said we can use but this year I'm getting married in September and it's my 40th bday in June plus doing stuff on my motorcycle too and totm so I am crazy busy but m2w is a great meet so would be willing to put some effort in to keep it goin ?

Hi folks at the end of last year's event it was mentioned that aled and Ross will be stepping back from organizing this fantastic event if this is still the case I'd like to offer my services to do anything I can to make sure this amazing event happens again this year my fiencee knows Wales a little and she says she's willing to help to please let me know if I can be of assistance or add comments if you're willing to help too

Booked , me and the Mrs very looking forward to this

Merry Christmas fellow CF owners hope everyone has a blast hope to see some faces at events next year

Defo up for this again was a fantastic weekend would recommend to all members

Also I have a mate in Hungary with a massive garden he said we can use ??

I take it it will be summer 2019 ? If this is the case I'm definitely up for it would we be lè comping or b&b sounds a right good gig I'm excited already ???

It don't really matter which post on the cap is number one as long as it runs if I remember right you wire it from the key so when you engage 12v to the starter you also feed 12v to the coil when you release the key to the second position you go via the ballast resister , so you get 12 v on crank and 7-9 v when she's up and running as soon as she sounds sweet you can work on your carb problems ?

I know a very good trimmer but he's nowhere near you ? But if you can't find anybody you could always ship them to him

Can't "like" quotes anymore?

Ok first thing get a compression test make sure you have decent compression on all four cylinders you say you already have fuel at the carb make sure inlet manifold is not leaking double check cam and crank timing to make sure that is spot on now this bit might sound daft but just try it turn it over and spray lynx deodorant in the carb it's flammable and acts like easy start see if it fires up pinto engines are very basic you need compression, timing ,sparks and fuel I had this on a pinto it was overfilling and the fuel was basically putting the spark out pintos also like to crank over quite fast so try getting a nice big battery on there I've got a big diesel van battery on mine the fuel in the oil is called bore washing which is why I say to test your compression and Leeds me to think your gettin too much fuel in the cylinders but it might be alright after it's running as it'll be using the fuel instead of bore washing hope this helps let us know how you get on

It's something we can discuss over a beverage or 3 at t o t m next year

I think I'll get there around 10:30
