April 1st
First Run of the Year

Today was first drive of the Dodge this year since its winter lay up. I added 5 gallons of fresh fuel, re-fitted the battery, primed the fuel pump; but it didn't start. Odd! However, it's funny how it starts much better once the rotor arm is re-fitted to the distributor!

Anyway, after that, it started first try, and then went for a short run around the block to exercise all the moving parts. Oil pressure and temps all ok, and I hadn't forgotten how to double de-clutch the gearbox over the winter, so no grinding of gears!

The truck shelter seems to have survived the winter weather pretty well too, as it was dry inside. Just need to wait for a warm couple of days to do the Spring service before the Elvington show in May.
