Fitted the new ignition barrel to the old Pan

Thought it would be a fairly easy job.
Took two of us all day!

All electrics now working.
Shame it doesn't fire up.
Probably a blocked fuel system as it's been stood for years.


chuck a good dose of Sea foam in the tank. people tell me it works wonders.
