Carrying on with the build, the choke operating mechanism on the carburetter was worn, as was the roller on the accelerator pump. Surprisingly, the butterfly spindles for the choke and throttle weren’t. A new roller was fitted to the accelerator pump and a new choke cam fabricated, then epoxy-resined to the existing mechanism. The new roller made a big difference to the engine’s performance; totally lost the flat spot

Choke lever repair with epoxy resin.
The electrical wiring was a nightmare; wires all over the place, crimp connectors, bits of insulating tape, and Citroen only seemed to use one colour; green! Must have been a bulk purchase. Tracing the connections to produce a circuit diagram was partially successful. There were some parts of the loom I never did trace

; I suspect there were soldered joints within the main loom that made point to point tracing difficult.

Wiring nightmare
