While I didn't measure resistance vida and the gauge still seem accurate and match cold vs hot start.
It didn't appear to be a fuel issue but rather spark.
Has the jumpy tach while cranking and often farts when letting off the key.

Sensor bracket seems to have resolved the issue. That thing is super picky about the air gap and position/placement of sensor. Hopefully it doesn't return.

Convinced Mrs Abscate that the 35th anniversary was indeed the “New P80 seat” Anniversary...

Used a rotary tool, some epoxy adhesive and some scraps of 2mm steel to make a repair for a broken tailgate panel mount. Kits exist, but at £10 are a smidge more costly than 5 mins and leftovers.

Admired how nice of a set of junk yard Headlights and corners I had found!

Waiting for some brake pads to come in before I can really hit the road in the 850

That is a pretty clean seat!

A bonafide Unicorn in the P80 world I’m finding.

Tore apart the B5254T4 that’s been sitting in my garage. It’s amazing how light the bare block is once the crank comes out!
I’m gonna clean it up and make a piece of furniture out of it. It’s an R block, so it’s useless anyway
