Pumped up the tyres some more, put the battery on a trickle charger. With the crappy weather its probably not going to be seeing the outside for a while!
Watched it rot........slowly

Nah Daz it's not worth the hassle of trying to explain why I've a car cover on the drive which resembles the shape of a Nova... I'd never get away with saying "It's a garden feature darling". lolQuote:

only to come on here moaning about it for edd to make me remember the cvs not being attached can cause play :roll:
Took the inlet manifold off, removerd all the yellow hoses an got them cleaned up ready to put back on, waiting on a manifold for some bike boddies :)

Dusted it off and fitted its car cover to keep it warm over winter. Put the battery charger on as I just about flattened the battery dragging the fuel back through and starting it.
When I dont start my nova for a week or more its like I have to "drag" the fuel back through? Can this be a problem with the starting on my car? Could this be a problem with the fuel pump?Quote:
