I managed to put the engin on the chassis with the gearbox. I've loaded it with some fresh new oil and did some manual turns to lubricate all the internal mechanic: I did as well some work on the ventilation cases. I've grinded and painted them with anti-rust and black paint: I'm not a car painter so be cool on the coments - Silc _________________ Nothing else's better than a 2CV custom!!! Yeah baby yeah!!!

It took me about 4 hours to clean all parts, and then I've painted them... - Silc _________________ Nothing else's better than a 2CV custom!!! Yeah baby yeah!!!

Nevertheless I need some help from you. The oil is all going nicely everywhere but there is a but... Indeed, I put some petrol in the carb, the engine starts, but it seems that the gaz pump is not working. How can I test if it is ok or not? - Silc _________________ Nothing else's better than a 2CV custom!!! Yeah baby yeah!!!

This is potentialy darngerous though.

So I guess that my pump is dead. Is there any way to repair it or should I just get a new one? - Silc _________________ Nothing else's better than a 2CV custom!!! Yeah baby yeah!!!
