Finally after too many years I'm working on my 500/4

Long time since anything happened on this but with the help of a good friend we dragged the old girl out into the sunlight, rigged up a temporary mini fuel tank, spent a few hours attacking wiring and she runs! Really nicely too. Then pulled the carbs off because the selling rubbers carb to Airbus were so hard they were nigh on impossible to get seated and 2 carbs were dropping a lot of fuel, quick removal of float bowls and needle seats revealed the 2 left seats had a considerable buildup of dirt behind and the o rings on the seats plus main jets were shrunk and perished. A rummage of the spares unearthed a softer set of manifold rubbers, ( they actually bend! ) and some new o rings of approximately the right size. Seems to have cured the overflow issue and still runs. Lots of wiring to do, plus find out about the current system for re registering as historic vehicle, mot or exemption etc, all changed since the old girl was last a taxed and mot'd road vehicle.
