Jonn fitted new bungs and gaskets to both carburettor float bowls and ensured they were securely in place. He then refitted the carburettor assemblies to the manifold and tightened all fixings. With the ignition key turned on, he checked for any fuel leaks, finding none. To build oil pressure, the engine was cranked over for one minute with the coil lead disconnected; the oil warning light extinguished as expected. The coil was then reconnected, and the engine was turned over for ten seconds. Upon pulling out the choke, the 1974 Triumph Stag started immediately. Jonn switched off the engine and carried out a visual inspection before preparing the vehicle to be taken outside.
He checked the tyre pressures and wheel nuts, then removed the washer bottle, cleaned it thoroughly, refitted it, filled it with clean water, and confirmed its operation. The vehicle was taken outside and run up to temperature, with all systems appearing to function correctly. Once back in the workshop, Jonn checked the oil level and topped it up as necessary. He also inspected the auxiliary belts under load, confirming they were in good condition.
A road test was then conducted, driving to the fuel station and back through to simulate varied driving conditions. On return to the workshop, all systems remained in order. The vehicle was left to cool before rechecking fluid levels and completing final checks ahead of sign-off.
