A view of Rods engine, it does need a paint but getting it running correctly was the most important job, well the engine colour is not part of the M.O.T . As you can see you have to connect a few wires here and there.It is a total check up of the engines electrical health, covering primary (points/coil) and secondary High tension (coil/rotor/H.T. leads and spark plugs).
Also various vacuums and pressure tests can be done on the engine/ignition system as well as the exhaust gas/mixture can be checked and adjusted, anything to save a few drops of petrol in this day and age.
