My week this week, my workshop videos!
hermetic:
Trials and tragedies, the ups and downs of another week in my workshop! The 2CV engine goes back together, the broken exhaust manifold which started this sorry tale gets welded, and the whole project shudders slowly forwards. Laugh, cry, subscribe, comment, but thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I haven't enjoyed making it! I WILL get there in the end!

Yes folks, engine back in and almost running, and for once it almost all goes smoothly. It is a good thing that I did go this far into the engine, because if I hadn't, the corroded oil cooler and oil feed pipes would have ensured that the engine had a life of about 20 minutes! It will run early next week! Make comments, give me a like, and please subscribe.
Phil,
in warm and sunny East Yorkshire!

I start the week baffled by a non running engine, find the fault (eventually) and now it runs every time! It is not right yet, but a lot can happen when a carburettor is stood empty for 20 years! I finish off with some boring on the lathe, as the next 2cv engine job is to make the exhaust pipes, which means I heed to get my hydraulic bender working! No Futurama jokes please! I think I feel a pipe bender stand coming on hext week. Like, subscribe comment and enjoy watching a bumbling idiot at work!

I’ve had a lot of hext weeks! :coffee:
hermetic:
LOL, I think I have had a "hext" month with this engine, what I failed on was a deeper understanding of the carburettor, it is the primary air jet which allows the engine fuel to start on, and when it first started earlier in the week, it must have sucked that grass or whatever it was into the jet, and would not start after that. Now I have the engine starting and ticking over reliably, I can find out why the primary choke fuel system is not working, and causing the engine to cut when the throttle is opened. Effectively, it is not a two stage carb, but a three stage one, and only the first stage will start the engine!
