Starting the engine
« on: February 04, 2015, 07:57:50 PM »
Ooooooh yeah!   ;D
After many kicks the oil pressure light went off.
Then the magic happened.
Just wanted to share with you the first time it roared and what a ROAR.
For sure it needs some adjustments to be fully satisfied but my ambition was to start the engine and hear its roar.
Mission accomplished.
Thank you

Makes it all worth while :), don't worry about the mechanical noise, a lot of that will go once the carbs are balanced and the engine is set up properly.
