..........the power steering boxes on these do not take kindly to operating 'dead stick' , on a bar ......... would much prefer to juggle it about under its own steam ... job for tomorrow
so the "job for tomorrow" got looked at ... after we'd had a MAJOR weed and general scrub burning session and I'd juggled a few other things about ... returned one of the scaff towers to its original home (
as Clara'd lost interest in clambering about on it) and relocated a recently acquired
other one to 'access (
manual variety) corner' ... after i'd dragged out a load of brambles I'd lopped a few weeks ago and left to dry .
any way ... several burning binfulls later ... I got to look at yon Disco .... knocked up a lead to run the pump from the fag lighter socket beside the driver's seat .. ran it up and cranked it ... started first flick, then stopped
... stuck some more fuel in it, although showing 1/4 tank on the dash ... just in case and tried again .. and again ... Nada!!
sounded dead, so stuck a wire straight to the coil ... Nada !!!
Plug out to check for spark ... fine but dry, so came to the conclusion the injectors weren't firing .. I know me way round SDs and Classic RRs with me eyes shut ... as in where everything is 'parked' and what's where/does what .... this is very different ... and as said a bit of a hybrid ... ☹ .... somewhere in there is a main relay, a pump relay, an ECU main power relay and the ECU for the EFi ..... where is another story ???
... it was now time to eat, so wrapped it up for the day
Hamster juice time this morning so didn't get at it 'til damned near lunchtime ... re-arranged me pile of 40mm clean first off, to make me some space to relocate the Disco, having moved a couple of trailers yesterday to create a slot, once I'd squared the heap up ... and slung the old girl for a move ...
saved stressing the PAS box ... as said .. they don't like 'dead stick' and meant I could get it done on me own ... rather than trying to explain just where and how I wanted it to 'the boss' , on the end of a bar .... much easier all round ...
... it's now a lot closer to all me tools, rather than walking back and forth for gear ........ and out the way to finish off with the roller, which was next on the agenda, 'til me phone rang and 'twere Vicki, down at the gate, with the eggs she'd forgotten to leave yesterday
.... and a certain little bundle of trubble
... so that put paid to progress for a while .
Eventually managed a.n.other rolling session and got the rest of that area squared up to Pam's satisfaction .....
Still think the donkey box is gonna have to relocate too ...
Pam has Josh, KM and the two boys coming shortly, in their camper, apparently,
from Plymouth, now that the 5 mile thing's been lifted in Wales...
Before they depart for a summer vacation trek (their original plans, earlier in the year, got stymied with the virus) .... but're now intent on some time away, when KM finishes school for the summer, shortly.
They're not going to be able to stay in the house, so ... we'd been looking at these pop up gazebos for a while, for the lawn, for shelter for any visitors, if it's not dry, but failed to find anything suitable (or that Pam liked)!! ....... but have found an alternative (which should do the job) and provide some dryness if it's wet, when they're here (and for any future requirements- hopefully) ..... so watch this (or that) space for 'developments'!!
As for the Disco ..... again -- job for tomorrow, by the time Clara and Vicki'd departed and I'd given it some with the roller.
and it'll only be a matter of time, 'fore she's at 'em
