I'm modding it *slightly 😉
I will fit 'wheelie castors' at the motor end of the body = Mam can wheel it about the kitchen, like a wheelie bin.
Heavy to manhandle = Easy is Best ✔️♥️

I popped a lazy ask, onto the Gumtree ad.. not for a moment expecting a 'bite' 😯 Weeks pass and suddenly, today, "Yes, It's still available" 🤪 AUDI ridealong 6V >>> £20!! I shot down to Darlington and nabbed it, seems they were a bit wrong footed = bought for Gdaughter and she loved the sounds + head/taillights BUT took an absolute $hit when it 'shot off' 🙀. My Gdaughter is made of Sterner Stuff 🤣🤣 OVIMOR

You need a 'hoseshoe' in your handbrake cables....
Google is your friend 😉

.... SU carbs use a 'tapered metering needle'...
Don't forget = filing a simple flat down the length of 'any' needle will increase fuelling/let's you tackle 'flat spots' with a bit of tweaking 😉

I have suffered 'chuntering', a popply miss, when pressing gently on the throttle in a high gear/slowish speed. This is NOT labouring.... Today I swapped out the plug leads 👍 TOTAL fix 🥳 .... 18yr old 'baked' leads just breaking down 😕 OVIMOR

I discovered early on that the Solex, on the IMP, was a bit $hite...
I loved the 1 1/4 SU on my previous MM1000 vans.
I got a lad, at my works, to fab up an adapter to put an SU onto my IMP.
Best mod I ever made #simple carb # breathes BIG... 👍

Buy a Lottery Ticket tonight 🙄... NOW the OSF caliper has started sticky/smoking.. unbelievable! I'm sacking this one off.. onto my friendly 'oily spanner', his lock-up is just around the corner. I have a breaker Caliper (£20 del) coming and I'm booked in for Saturday. He will pull up my handbrake/do shoes & swap tyres front to back. It is too damn cold + wet for back lane wrangling 😕🛠️.
