It’s not the smooth full-throated song of its Italian twin-cam contemporaries. Out on the road, the noise from the fancy stainless steel exhaust is ripping fabric set to a syncopated staccato beat. There’s plenty of rust that you don’t see. I used a GM-style “universal” wiring harness with eleven fuses. Add in fifty years of splices, half-ass repairs, and corrosion, and the only real solution is to rip it all out and start over again. Everything you ever heard about Lucas electrical systems is true. Other parts have been replaced as needed - the entire wiring harness, for one.

If it’s warm out, you can twist the choke handle back to horizontal and slide it in almost right away if it’s cold, give it a minute or two. It usually catches after five or six revolutions. Make sure the gearlever is in neutral, then turn the key to Start. Insert the key and turn it to “Run,” but not “Start.” Flip the chrome toggle switch I installed that activates the old points-type SU fuel pump and listen as it fills up the fuel line: puckapuckapuckapuckapuck-puck-puck….puck……puck.
