It lives.

There has been a few problems over the past few weeks, the latest being the starter motor. The starter was rebuilt like everything else from the wheel bearings to the wiring harness.
The engine was winding slowly so the starter was removed and checked finding the brass bush on the shaft was worn and out of shape allowing the armature to hit the windings. The bush was replaced and the starter re fitted. The starter was tested on the engine and found to be working correctly and to the point the engine fired up and ran nicely for the first time in 20 odd years.
I tried to upload a video however it wouldn't work for some reason. I should have the G home soon for a final tidy up and registration.
