Afternoon folks

well it is here just

.

So quad up and running again. Drain the fuel add some fresh, gave the carb a good blowjob, new plug fitted. Armed with a box of jumps and a can of sparks.
Gave it a squirt of spraks and some jumps from me box and away we went. Runs good again

.

Have come in for a warm up, although the sun is shining the wind is bitter. Me fingertips are tingling back to life as I type

. May go out and do a bit more later..............May not

Do you want me to write it bigger

.
Do I have to go through the whole boring procedure?

.
Ok.

You take the carb off, take it to the garage take out a few screwey things and give every orifice a puff of air from the little blowy gun thing on the end of a pipe from a machine that makes plenty of blowy

.

Shirley you have read those instructions in a Haynes manual before

I haven't the foggiest! I do know it is 3.2L and drinks diesel like the 90 does
I will have a proper look today.

If it was a v6 it would be taking tiny sips of petrol as you wafted along

Ah then no its not!! It takes great gulps of diesel but it is a smooth (and quiet) ride

A mate had a 3.5 v6 and it was a lovely machine. Practically ran on fresh air

Tiny sips???

Mildly better than the RR, but 2 cyl less, but tiny, not

.

But they are supposed to be quite good beasts, will tow @My Old Landy s trailer though which I know was a consideration

.

Still waiting for pics, but seems he has been to busy driving around it it

Morning folks,

Good luck with the colonoscopy Stan.
Did @kevstar have his op ok.
So glad it's Friday.

Thanks for this it went very well, especially compared to last time. Only found one tiny polyp, no higher than 1 mm, so they hoicked it out and it is off for testing. Crossed fingers for that but all the previous ones were benign. So very optimistic.

Haven't read the thread yet so no idea about @kevstar or anyone else.

Blimey, so there is!
I looked top left and saw summat else then looked a bit lower down and saw the series bonnet lurking, I think!
"Lurcio, Lurcio, wherefore art thou Lurcio!!"
As Frankie Howard would have said.

Anyway the Shogun looks nice. Very modern if I may say so was expecting the more chunky older version.
Have great fun in it MOL!

OOPS I meant top right corner. Post edited to correct my stoopid error. Just like Captain Cook, took a wrong turn but discovered kangaroos

Hee Hee!
I think I mistook his wheelie bin for the place where a series bonnet rests on its wing.
My bad, plus paying attention to what you were saying, to the letter, of course!!
Change your handle to "Capn Cooky" and we'll forgive you!!
