Thunderhorse

The General has put on a consistent performance over the last week. The jump pack has stayed stowed and I've got him running every time. Every night I have trudged outside in my magic slippers to commune with the starter motor for a period of "extended cranking" and every night he has responded with a cough and a splutter and the occasional chitty, chitty, bang, bang.

I feel I can talk to him a bit now. I have found a technique of reviving the engine from an almost dead state. I'm hoping that I won't need any of this but hey, it must be handy.

But once he's going, sweet as a nut.

Although, dunno what that stuff was we found in the distributor cap last night, it didn't look structural, but you never can tell...
