No bright spark...

Lulu isn't playing fair. We put the engine back together and now she refuses to start when it is cold (a bit like her unemployed owners!). With some persistence she eventually fires and runs like a dream. But only after multiple coffee and cigarette breaks! Unfortunately I don't think the crew on the Spirit of Tasmania are going to allow us several coffees as they wait for us to get our bomb started and off their boat! One way to fix the starting problem is to warm her up - with a bucket of fuel and a match. The other is to replace the dodgey coil with a new one or at least that is what we have been told. The first option does sound tempting at times. So we bought a replacement coil today only to discover they gave us the wrong one! Hopefully we'll grab the right one tomorrow and see if that sorts out the starting conundrum. Fingers crossed.
