During yesterdays I took the following readings of the pressure gauge.

M.P.H. Min. Max.
10 1 10
20 3 12
30 5 14
40 6 15
50 8 17
60 11 19
70 15 20
80 17 20

The mileage covered on Sat & Sun was 378.

On checking the tappets this morning I had to reset Nos 10, 11, 12.

The air temp on starting on Sun morn was -4°C & the engine started & continued to run after 5 sec. The air temp this morning was -5°C & the engine fired quietly but took 3 attempts to continue running.
