so have been slowly pottering away, done a few little things, nothing major. I start up the engine every week, and I noticed today that there was some black stuff coming out of the exaust. it blows a little steam, but I'm not too worried about this. was a little worried about the black stuff, it's like black water coming out, anyone has a clue what it can be?

Mine does this too. I'm pretty sure it's condensed water from the exhaust cooling down washing soot out of the exhaust.

Mines been doing this for as long as I've had it.
I believe it's because its running too rich whilst the choke is on.
That and the condensation as said.
I've got a dirty patch on the road where I always park in the same place

Haha when my mate at work annoyed me I used to back up to his car and let it spray all over his door

I'll join the black cough crew

picked up two brake calipers today, guy I bought them off said the had been sitting for a long time. pulled them apart, and sliders are not rusted at all, all seals are still in good condition, and the piston are rust free too! well chuffed with them, good to have a few spares, and needed a few of the bits for my existing setup

Nice! I've been sorting out my garage over the last few days and found 6 calipers haha
Now just got to work out which ones work!

slowly getting there, a little bit at a time
