what john has said
from when i had a Triumph sedan there are actually (well in my mind at least) 3 steps to the whole thing,
1 set up the carbs with relation to mixture, similarity to each other (that's springs, amount of dash-pot oil etc)
2 tune each carb mixture to the motor
3 balance
i was able to do my Triumph with 2 ordinary and cheap vacuum gauges as there was a vacuum takeoff on each carb.
if you have the manual for the marina they explain it fairly well in that,oops just thought its only in the all blue one not the blue and white one

thank you all for the encoutragement.
It drove pretty well, but I am still getting used to driving side valve speed.
It starts right up easy, idles well and all the brakes etc, seems to be working very well.
But I keep forgetting that it does not have self cancelling blinkers!
I might get some kind of buzzer I think.
There is an exhaust system but I need to get a proffesional to just make a few adjustments. then of for rego,
fingers crossed, Australia Day?
And Graham did you mean an engine swap with a rotary in the Tourer?
And John Yes we tuned the carbs, my kit arrived a few days ago, thanks again.
I just hope that after a shake down period nothing breaks or falls off.
Thanks again guys.

The RAIN has postponed TWO THINGS.
Firstly: I was not game to see if the Tourer was water proof,
so on Wednesday, I chickened out of getting it registered. But
I will do it the first fine 2-3 hours we get, after Australia tady. (Today)
And Secondly: The Australia Day Festivities at Ormiston has be
delayed and will now take place on 12th Feb, hopefully if Dry.
I am Pretty Sure me and the Tourer will be there!

Thanks Binda and Carle.
Binda, please make sure you find me and introduce yourselves.
I am so ahppy now I can just drive it, with the wind in my hair,
but I must say there a few less hairs than when I started 17 years ago.
