Pumping the gas pedal , with an SU carb , does nothing . There is no accelerator pump. Normal start procedure when cold , is full choke , crank till it starts , then progressively push the choke in as the engine warms . Hot start , touch nothing , just work the key . Nice woody .
I think to be honest it's a hangover from my twin 40 dcoe carburettor Mini however it does normally start first turn of the key but I appreciate your advice many thanks

I actually prefer the rat mog, the noise is more likely the dynamo bearing, buy a nice shiny water pump for Ronald and steal his for the rat mog,
I appreciate that and have already removed Ronald water pump!!
He did
Could it be the timing chain that is rattling
Just buy a new water pump they only £27
@williamthomas5223 it could be thats why i was asking the experts!
