IT Lives!!!!!

Stuck the charger back on for 3 hours this morning, in addition to what it had yesterday evening. Added 1/2 gallon of petrol into the tank, turned the key. After 10 seconds of starter she was away. I took her to the end of the farm track and back again, and then left her running for almost an hour, as I went round and took some pictures.

So at least I know, that with about 5 hours on that small charger and a little petrol she will fire into life.

Since this issue, I have taken to starting the car and letting it run up to operating temperature at least once a week. So far no more problems, always starts first time every time. Just need someone to buy it now before I use all the petrol up.
