M201 Service and Test Drive - April 7th

 
With a dry day forecast, I had to take the opportunity to give Jessie a service. The following day, I had my first event of the year in Hartlepool. I got most of the grease points done, but there's a few on the steering linkage I can't get to. In the middle of the job, the flexi-hose on my grease gun split, so I had to revert to a rigid nozzle. This was fine for most places, but there's a few it won't reach. I'll have to order a new hose before I finish the rest. The fuel pipe to the carb was weeping, so that was stripped, cleaned, some burrs removed and reassembled.
 
 
The engine and diff oil was changed, the transmission, transfer case and steering box checked and topped up. Once everything was done, I went for a short test drive around the local area to make sure everything was operating correctly for the following day. 
 
 
I stopped at a few of the usual places and another local spot, where I found some nice puddles for photos with reflections.
