I was thinking the same. It's amazing he got that flight at all.

He'd be fine, as long as his passport states his ID as S.U.Weller.

 

Santa got priority but still hasn't recovered from missing a nights
sleep.

 

I can get it to start easily enough but it won't idle happily until it's
up to temp and is a bit lumpy pulling away. The AED on the early type is
slightly different and cruder than the later 420/Mk10/XJ6 type.

The local car breakers (who does a sideline in stashing old Jags) has
another solenoid for a score. Fortunately it's a thirty second swap so I
can check it there.

Just chucking ideas in the pot!

 

As far as I remember it has two actions. One for cold starting and a
second for warm up.

 

If your car started and ran without the starting carb it must have been
running ridiculously rich. Because it's the same as saying a car fitted
with SUs with a manual choke wouldn't need the choke used on cold days.

 

Hence having to fan the throttle when hitting the starter.
No it wasn't running rich. It was spot on with very good MPG.
