It lives!

How right you are Bill, longcases can be picked up for a few quid now. We didn't pay a lot for Justin as he is a marriage of movement in a different case. We bought him about 15 years ago and only keep him so Trev has something to do when he comes down from Yorkshire, without his free ministrations Justin would have been 'beyond economical repair' long ago.
We also had a bracket clock given to my wife by her friend when her husband died as Hilary liked the clock. Jules her friend had had the clock 'repaired' in Egypt where she has lived for the past 40 years and when Trev looked inside it he just made horrified noises and muttered 'there's an effing nail in here holding the mechanism in'. I don't think he was impressed.

Itsme:
Just a quick update. I have now simplified and renewed the wiring and have a much stronger and more consistent spark which is obviously good. However at some point over the next few days I will be draining the carb and trying a start on lovely, fresh E5. If the MM runs then all well and good, if not then I am at a loss.
Fingers crossed and I will let you know the results.

Certainly sounds promising Ian, hopefully that bit of light at the end of the tunnel for you with it all now. Best of luck with it and keep us posted on your progress. The MM WILL ride again 😉🤞
Cheers, Michael
