What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Hi All

After changing the front axle and spring on the Brookfields I went for a short run to check everything. Suspension wise it was fine but engine wise was not good.

Back home I found the advance retard lever was moving on the control tube. The tube had stuck solid in the column.  A rub down with wire wool and a light oiling restored things.  However I can’t remember ever lubricating these concentric tubes.  Exactly how one is supposed to get oil down the helical groove in the tube once installed I’m not sure. Is it simply a question of 3 in 1 oil between the control levers?

Advice please

Cheers

Howard
