Do Not start it without the cover on as, the oil pressure will push the bung out and you will have all the oil on the floor ;)

Plus the bung will disapear into the dimmest darkest corner of the workshop, not to be seen again until you have taken out a second mortgage to buy the lasy unobtainium one on the planet!

I did say runner not a rider.lol
I'm still impressed with where you have gotten - my 500 is spread all over my garage in boxes & baskets - I go to sleep trying to imagine what it will look like with a Nut Brown frame - getting to the freezer in our garage is presently akin to an obstacle course.

Yep, just had to scour the garage for a tank mount rubber that bounced into oblivion.
