Can anyone offer some advise?
I have a 1967 R4 which I have left stood in my garage for about 18 months. When I last used her she was running, but a bit lumpy.
I decided last weekend to change the plugs and pionts and charge the battery.
Sure enough one of the plugs was particularly ugly with the gap barely visible due to a build up of crystal like debris. I thought this could indicate the cause of the poor running before wshe was garaged.
The battery is worse for wear and wont fully charge so I need to replace but I thought 'perhaps it will have enough umph to turn the engine allowing me to set the points', but alas no. But here's my real worry!!! I cant even get the engine to turn over by bump starting or even the crank handle??? Granted I have not gone for the full 100 m dash and let the clutch out, just a gentle back a fourth in my gargage but it doesnt seam to want to budge???
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
