Title: operation lil'yella
Post by: Nosebolt on January 23, 2014, 12:39:12 PM

we are putting the planned rebuild on hold for this year so we can use the truck for this years events, started today with battery going on charge and a jetwash, don't sound a lot but after standing for almost 3 years it took all morning and a tow from the ZJ just to get it moving.

thinking after engine is running may need to check the brakes  :100:

well she runs, all be it like a bag of nails but that will have a lot to do with it having over half a tank of 2yr old fuel (to much to dilute for now), brakes get a firm pedal after two pumps but clutch is totally seized, knew it needed a new clutch as was slipping like a whore down a sailors cock when we parked it up, so can only wait till gearbox is off to make sure why, hoping its just because it has been standing so long.
