Didn't happen today. Magneto wiring trouble. It has been corrected, and another attempt will be made tomorrow. Jesse.

Oil pressure problems today. Had to pull the oil pump to correct the problem. We will try again tomorrow.

It started right up today. Runs great. The video is actually the 4th or 5th start. To many things to do than take pictures. Jesse.

Default Like shelling peas.....

Jesse,

That went so smoothly

playing it over a couple of times & it sounds like a musical tune. Radials do have a fantastic bass note.

Saying 'well done' dosent seem to convey the enjoyment I got out of watching the startup on you tube.

Must be a satisfying feeling for you.

Many thanks for sharing & congratulations.

The engine is going in the vehicle tomorrow. We have about 4 hours on it. Ran it 2 hours today. I had ear plugs, and flight-line hearing protectors, but my ears are still ringing. A lot of bass there. It shakes the ground, and the house. Jesse.

Excellent! Engine sounds great....especially when you just turned off the ignition....those last few "thumps" sound terrific.

Have you started work on the front fenders/stowage boxes yet? or did they come with the sale?
