I could cry.

Comments Off on I could cry.

I could cry with frustration. Brick won’t start. The bloke I bought the ignition parts from went on holiday; and came back a few days ago – but the parts aren’t here yet; so I’m still running on a very dodgy points ignition. Yesterday the car started first time every time (there were several places I went). Today, won’t start.

So I had charged the mog’s battery yesterday, I slung that in the minor and prayed, but old petrol and 4 months of standing have done nothing for starting performance. After about 5 minutes my neighbour came and had a go at me about my cars not starting – we managed to reach a concensus when I explained that I had ordered the bits for the viva – but that they’d not come yet – and that I really did understand it was annoying for them, and that I wasn’t even meant to be using the minor but I needed to get to work and had reached desperation.

But the minor would not start.

So I have an MZ – which will start, but is devoid of MOT and Tax. I’ve a minor that won’t start, but has MOT and Tax and a Viva that has MOT and Tax and also won’t start. I’ve two flat batteries and I’m going to be very late for work.

I’m going to charge the battery until about 10 to 8. With my ‘fast’ charger. I’m hoping that’ll give it enough to get the car going; but I’ve no idea why it wouldn’t start. The gap wasn’t too bad not perfect, but not too bad. The threadlock clearly’s done nothing for holding the points in place, as a side point. But if it won’t start I’m fucked. I can’t ride the ‘zed there; not unless I get an MOT, which at 8am? Going to be challenging.

Traffic’s going to be a bitch anyhow.
