Setting up an old engine.
I have a VERY old mardave stock car that was bought 15 yrs ago from a friend who never managed to get it running.
About a week ago, I found it in a box at the back of the garage, having not used it for more than an hour after buying it.
Thought I'd see if I could figure out why the engine never ran, so I stripped it and the carb apart. To cut a long story short, 2 parts were obviously missing from the carb, including a rubber seal, and the adjuster had been put together backwards!
The engine itself looks pristine inside (doubt it had more than the 1 hour use I gave it!) so I've now put it back together. Question is, how do I set it up from scratch? is there a set procedure. If its any help the engine is an HGK 21.
Also, if anyone out there knows of a source of parts for the car, its got no wheels and tyres (don't ask!) and the clutch is a "little damaged"!!
