My poor LBC has been sitting 21 months in the garage unstarted.
After 14 months, I put 10 cc of Marvel Mystery oil into each cylinder
to keep them from seizing. Being a member of SOL has inspired me to
get the ol' girl onto the road. Also, with British Car Day quickly
approaching (5 days away), what an opportunity to show the world that
there really is a Daimler Dart SP-250.
I need help though with what may appear obvious, but after owning
a Tiger and an SP-250, nothing is obvious.
1. Having sat for 21 months, is it possible the old SU HD-6s will
not have to be drained and rebuilt?
2. Is it possible that the gas will fire up or likely to be too
much like varnish?
3. I started to replace the brake fluid but got scared when lots
of little black specks came out in the old fluid. Is it likely
that since the brakes have not been used for so long, and
eventhough no slave cylinders are leaking, after a few minutes
of driving, that all rubber seals will collude, remember that
they are British, and disentegrate?
What was resolved for a SOL Gathering at British Car Day in Bowie on 28th?
I would surely like to see some of those SOL cars, although it looks like
mine may not receive the attention she deserves before Sunday.
