What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[jpsmit]

I'm a bit behind all this 'today'. But over the last few weeks I have put the 15years ago chance e-bay engine in the RP after. I couldn't get all the muck out of the H/C head so went with a good low comp head after all. With some fiddling got it to run half decent and went for a drive.

Clutch was a bit high but worked ok. No smoke, pulls well. Oil seemed to stay were it was supposed to, same with the petrol and water. Splendid.

Gave it half an hour and went to fetch some chips, and like a switch the clutch stopped working, well nearly stopped working as it went from fine, to barely catching in one gearchange. I managed to get it home barely. Thankfully I didn't need to stop.

I do not believe its getting any spring force on the plate. I did the roller mod as recommended on here, and I wonder if one has jammed something up. whilst the clutch linings are not new, they were certainly not worn out, nor actually was there much slop in anything, just the levers were too far in before adding the rollers.

So the swine will have to come out again. Hey ho. Life would be boring if there was nothing to do. I'm just glad I didn't put the floor back together
