Andrew of this Parish kindly offered his lockup, skills and enthusiasm, such that we could take a look at some bits and bobs on this..

Upon arrival Andrew noticed "a bit of an exhaust blow" which actually transpired to be the whole rear section hanging off- it was hardly noticeable inside the car- not helped by the inlet being a cone filter which is pretty noisy- can't wait to return this to standard. I have the filter housing but I think I'm missing a couple of bits of pipework. Can anyone illustrate how this should be mounted and where the small hose on the filter housing is routed? Is it a crankcase breather? Anyway, I managed to bodge the exhaust for now, but I do need a new mid section.

Getting it up on some ramps revealed that the left primary is very leaky, and the right one slightly leaky. Most of all though, it revealed that the belts are very loose indeed, which presumably isn't helping the general high revs and reluctance to shift up. So that's the next task at hand! As the light was fading we didn't quite have the time to tighten them, but my understanding is that there's 4 bolts holding on the secondary, two horizontal slotted bolts near the primary and the threaded adjuster itself. I'll try that and then proceed with the diaphragms next..

Andrew also gifted some new uprated headlight bulbs, with some yellow covers on their way apparently- essential for that oh so cool french look! I'm being spoiled.. I also got to sit shotgun in his 33 which was impeccably smooth- I love that little thing!
