Another good day - icy start easy! Tempting fate AGAIN?....

Each morning when there is ice on the cover and moisture everywhere is a mixture of dread and delight! The pessimistic expectation that she won't start in such conditions, quickly followed (in today's case) by delight when she starts with relative ease. No problems today, warmed up nicely and off we go.

Two school drop offs and then to work. Still a lack of power (did she ever have any?!!) and the slight hesitations. Float level may be too LOW now perhaps, as I have two thick-ish washers under the needle valve at the moment. Will probably replace one, either remove completely or stick a thinner one in.

So the only doubt is that the last time I had an easy / icy start and commented about a lack of power, the CH gasket then promptly blew that evening. And that was also on a Friday!

Anyway, we'll see. Took the plugs out the other day and they seem pretty much OK, not oily like last time. So let's see. I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.

In the meantime, leather care products ordered and will treat the new seat covers before fitting. Will take time and do that in the New Year.

Hopefully Happy first Christmas around the corner. Have owned Amy for four months and it has been an adventure for sure.
