a fairground life

   Went to start the (generator) set yesterday. It spun & spun & spun but did not kick up. I changed the filter, no go. I tried the lift pump to no avail. So I put it on a 1 gallon can  to gravity feed the injection pump. It ran for about a minute until the gallon was used (it had no return line to it). This was only to confirm the problem was indeed the lift pump. Luckily the local supplier had a replacement on the shelf. So off I went to pick it up. I returned an hour later and had the replacement fitted in a few minutes. I turned the key and the engine growled to life, perfect timing as the rain started to fall and fall. Oh well.

Got the tyre for the jeep this morning so we will be back to full transport now. I have been sharing the pick up with "r" and begging lifts from everyone else.

Biz is very very quiet.
