The first and only thing I advertised on here it was posted two days with one party responding, suddenly it dissapeared. Just thought it would help mutually a totally rebuilt block for an HB surplus to requirements.
I went to a show today but my Viva played up when I parked up .
OK I did get a carb and box of bits from a member , but maybe due to electronic pump had problems since a totally rebuilt engine fitted, again sourced from a member but via EBay.
When today thinking electronic ignition and coil had sorted missing, it went back to its ways and wouldnt rev.
I couldnt get the idler jet undone as with the previous Zenith, so scoured the autojumble and fortunately found a pretty similar carb and swapped a few bits over, including the spacer betwixt the carb and inlet manifold , as the old one had cracked and fell apart,as admitedly did a new one off Fleabay when I tried to refit a mechanical pum
It seems the main holder of spares instantly available to Viva Folk is also a trader, but also when the owners club misslaid my initial membership I joined partly to source desperately needed spares, but got them elsewhere and joined a local Classic Club, which got me today into the Fordham show, (only Viva there), as also the Driver's club I had joined seemed to go to shows farther afield, but when my membership was found and internal politics reared there ugly head therein, I disjoined and stayed within this club.
Wasnt too happy to be chided considering the first years debacle to have been ticked off for sending my cheque by Royal Mail.
I find it virtually impossible to keep up membership renewals online but that is now an irrelevance as I wont be rejoining.
