So to sum up.
The clock works now on negative earth after a brief shock on positive earth,
and you can get free cigars on this forum too!
Love it.

Are you sure? I live in France. I'm always open to try different cigars. To date 206 of which 50 are non Cuban
Message me your address i'll find out the postage cost. I should be able to post them with a printed label from home.

Just about all cuban cigars are Bio, they can't afford to import the chemicals. They should keep much longer if made from correctly fermented leaves, which I am sure they would be. I have smoked artisan ones that have been kept for over a year.
Cuban are the best, most complex flavours. The top cubans are triple fermented instead of the double. The top make is Cohiba, damned expensive even in Cuba or Andorra.
Damn! I'll have to make another mug of tea and raid my reserves. . . .
I can pop them in the post if you'd like them?

I'm confused, Paula. You "tried it negative earth and nothing. Then I tried it back the other way and it does!"
Then " It's now wired Neg Earth. And working."
So it does work with the clock earth connected to the positive terminal of the battery?
John
It's now working with the negative terminal connected to the negative terminal of the battery. So Neg Earth.

They look a bit dry and not very similar, are they home made? Something you grew yourself?
Doug
They are from Cuba about 3 weeks ago. They are from a village that uses a 100% natural process no preservatives. Apparently they only last a month and that's pretty much up! A friend was taking them to Spain but obviously that's not happening now.
They do look very dry though. I'm dubious.Free to a good home

Wow! Some serious kitchen equipment. Is somebody left handed (knives and oil on the left) Maybe not Paula, her meter's on the right.

That's not oil. That's Limoncello 🤪 Hic!

It's sounding a lot happier now. I think it had just been sitting for a long time and we shocked it back into life.

Depends on when it was made, Spring or Autumn. Everyone knows clocks go forward in Spring and back in Autumn...

Paula,
I don't know Allegros from a hole in the ground, but many say that is where they should be.
But a quick Google shows that people advertise "AUSTIN 1000-Series MK II 1800 A110 A60 ALLEGRO Distributor Electronic Conversion Kit Positive earth " (my emphasis) . Could it be that the car this came from had a positive earth? If that were so, and as the face says it's a "transistor" item, then polarity is very important for function.
Apart from the purchase price, you have nothing to lose by reversing your connections.

STAND BY!

Polished grinder and rocker cover both very impressive.
Interesting extension for the polished.
Graham
It's to convert the grinder thread to a spike for the mops. I don't use it anymore as the mops will screw straight onto the shaft now. The leather has given enough.

I used sealant on the cover side and nothing on the engine side. Hopefully that shouldn't leak.
The tappets all needed a little adjustment. None of them much at all, but the engine sounds and runs lovely. I'm sure I can hear the difference.
As for the polishing I think it went really well. personal preference I suppose. I used some turtle wax and then a smear of oil at the end. Hopefully that will stop the rust. It was quite pitted in areas, so it has what i'm going to call an honest finish. 😁

I think it will look good polished and not chromed.

Hello from Paula and her Vitesse

Fitted. I think it looks nice there. Bloody thing is a bit temperamental, but hopefully now it’s in it will keep running. I might take the green filter out of it too.
