After fitting new fuel filter gaskets a few
days ago, the GPW needed a test drive. For a few days after the work was done,
there were gales with gusts over 40mph, so I put off a test until things
settled down. By the bank holiday Monday, there was a gentle breeze and a nice
sunny day, so after blowing up all the tyres, my daughter and I went for a
seven mile test drive. We didn't plan it to be so precise, but on logging the
miles once home, it was exactly seven miles door to door. All was well, with
the engine running ok at higher power and idle. It seems that the gaskets were
the reason behind the problem on VE Day.
