Wednesday picked up the Buick from my mates. It started fine but ran rough and smoked lots.
Friday I had a bash at fixing the smoke, no result but it started fine although it ran a bit rough.
Sunday I think I finally found and fixed the oil leak causing the smoke, made a few tweaks and adjustements and cleaned the carb with spray. Car starts fine, runs fine, test run shows no smoke. Excellent. Pulls like a train and drives ace.
So this morning I need to use it for work, get in the thing turn the key and theres lots of winding and wirring and then a strong smell of petrol as it floods and sod it I'm on the bus again.
I have angered the car gods somewhere somehow and I'm blown if I know what I'm going to do about it.
