The fuel tank's around half full, so I'll wait until it's a bit closer to empty before draining it. I'll be renewing the leads, etc, cleaning the carbs and pump and fitting a cleanable fuel filter on Saturday, and then we'll see how it goes...

All sorted now - all the ignition components renewed, washable fuel filter fitted, and jet of rear carb unblocked. Runs better than ever, but a bout of enthusiastic driving today has shown the need for the thermostat housing to be resurfaced and sealed properly (I love it when red hot coolant sprays all over the engine bay[V]), so that's tomorrow morning's job. Don't you just love old cars...
