Thanks TK, that's very nice of you.

Managed to get the old girl running tonight, so am pleased with that. Seems OK, but has an intermittent "puff" at low revs. Hasn't had fuel in it for 4 months so not going to worry about it until I've taken it for a bit of a run with some carb cleaner in the tank.

Relocating the Mother in Law - yep, been there, done that. It'll be a long day for sure.

 

Yep, comes to us all Bohdan; we moved her up here a couple of years ago (refer "the gods of speed were not smiling at me today").
Unfortunately the level of care now required is not available in Wanaka so we have to move her back to Ross Home in Dunedin.
I'm just hoping not for a repeat performance of two years ago because those demerit points are due to fall off in just a few weeks.
