Hi, purchased my little 500 last week (pictures will follow tomorrow!) but have a fueling issue, beleive it to be blocked main as idling fine but was intending to take the engine out and do some preventative maitanence in the engine bay (filters, spark plugs, tappet adjustments, 123 ignition, new belt, replace a weeping gasket etc.) so will know for sure then!

Had a great run before the problem occured and have never laughed so much in/on any vehicle!

Also going to do some preventative work elsewhere (waxoyl everywhere!) new kingpins, check shoes and bearings all round, replace suspension for shorter and stiffer stiff front and rear.

Two quick questions though, covers, any reccomendations as my car will be kept outside. Is a carcoon really worth the extra money or will a soft canpoy with a frame that lets air flow round be good enough?

And security, has anyone fitted any internal security devices (hidden kill switches etc.?) if so where and how?

Thanks, Rob.
 
Thanks Vitesse, had considered fitting one of those and probably will, thanks for the link!

Seeing your location youre quite close to me! Do you ever do driveouts to the coast or Ace etc.?

Thanks, Rob.
