Some more nice work there mate. These small bits and pieces make all the difference, and take forever to make.......and does anyone take any notice of them?  |

So today I was determined to get the trike driving.Checked all bolts/fittings etc,fitted rad hoses,topped up with water,plumbed in fuel tank. Checked for spark at points etc. Now the test......bloody hell it started and ran first press of the start button! Then noticed water dripping from the vent hole on the underside of the water pump! Stripped it all down, took off pump..looks like a new pump is in order as Ive tried fixing these in the past,but they always leak again! Oh well.there goes another weekend!

'tis true guys,at least I havent got to mess about getting it to run ! Found lots of odd jobs to do on it that will keep me busy until next week anyway!
One prob I have got that I've never come across before is that the brake light switch,which is the plumbed in type, doesnt operate the brake lights until the pedal is fully depressed. Im wondering if there is some air in the system that needs bleeding out.Ive never noticed this before when building cars,mainly cos you cant see the lights coming on as you press the pedal on a car!
