Finally out of the garage and running fine, just got to wait for wife to get home to give me a hand to replace the bonnet .

Yes, I think you deserve that!

I'll let you know how it goes. Unfortunately I can't make the JDC day as I'm away on holiday (and I need one!) starting that weekend.

We'll keep everything crossed for you, Nigel. You need at least one Jag on the road! I'll look forward to hearing it purring like a kitten at the JDC National Day on 4 August. Let's hope it's a little cooler than last year. 8-)

Cheers, I would have fitted those floats but I had a brass spare to replace the duff one. The rest of the engine was fitted up today and going for startup tomorrow, hopefully it will be leak free - but you never know!

Good to see her back together Nigel.

I think I must learn from you folks. I've recently had fuel filled floats & replaced with new brass. I think I must get some of these for the future. Hate it when the pump keeps running & I know I'm spewing fuel on the garage floor. So far new carb kits behaving.

That's looking very smart. That was fortuitous to spot the holed float while everything was apart. I switched to a stay-up float when I had the same problem recently.
