Your not the only one Nick, except its my daughter who has the plague, and I'm working from home.
I hope to get in the garage at least a couple of evenings and get the cup engine back in one piece. What has slowed me down is that my sykes picavant valve lifter is too bloody big, and I cant lay my hands on an Austin one.
There is of course one in the toolkit in the RP, but thats 10miles away!.
There is no reasom of course that I do not sort out the head, reassemble and adjust the clutch and start contemplating magnetos, and learning how on earth you time one.
I wonder if testing the mag ony daughter might get her out of bed?. It certainly used to liven my sister up when she was still stupid enough to hold a HT lead of an old truck mag dad had on the stall. One flick and she would jump about 3 foot in the air!.
