Didn't know of the engine would run, well now I know.....
Did some paint recovery (commandant no. 3) yesterday and at some rare places it even starts to shine and today I wanted to know if the engine runs....
1. old oil out, new oil in.... it doesn't haven an oilfilter it's that old, so every 3000 miles an oilchange......
2. put the sparkplugs out.
3. let the starter engine run for a while, sounded good and good rpm range, sofar it was promising.
4. wires back to the coil and the sparkplug holded against ground.... starting the engine and yes "Houston we have ignition)
Sparkplugs in again.
Some petrol down the carb and 1 try it wants to fire...
Put some petrol at a spounce and try again... it run for a moment...
but still no petrol by the petrol pump..
5. bypass with a hose to a canister of petrol, suck and hevel system straight to the carburetor
Start the engine and yes it runs......let it run for about 30 seconds and then suddenly the Original petrol pumps works again....
Mision completed within an hour....... engine runs smooth....
Video.....

Did some breakpipes today, bought a flairing tool (wanted it for years and and now there was a reason) and made my own breakpipes...... So tommorow theres someone bleeding ....... and then we will see the result....
BTW. the brakepads are the Original ones..... less then 27000km on the speedo, looking like new....

Mission completed today we arrived in Alcaniz.....
We went to Lourdes and today over the Peryneeen about 2000m high
Because of the heat we've choosen for a cabin on a campingsite nearby... Do to a double booking we now have a cabine with toilet, douche and airco.....
I think the 2cv meeting is 1 big heat.... lying on a hill turned to the sun, we are going later over there....
