Could you not upload it to U tube, make it public and post the Utube link?

Unfortunately, I'm not a UTuber (as far as having my own site/posting).  I assumed I could shorten/compress/reduce the resolution to get it to fit within the 5MB limit but no - not even close by quite a few orders of magnitude!  :(

Hey, I don't know nuthin' 'bout no video!

It took me about ten minutes to put this on Utube, I think I did two short clips as one was sideways for some reason.
This was first start up after 12 years before I did the rebuild project.

I tried to send it via private message but same issue - couldn't attach it - due to size or format, I guess.  It's a 30 second mp4 but even reduced to 720 (originally recorded at 4k) it's still 300mB.   

Related - I need to learn more about mic placement.  In the acceleration to red line through the first three gears, the audio was good until the speed got to around 50MPH.  Beyond that there was sufficient wind noise to make it sound as if the engine was stuttering.  I had the mic attached to a strap in the small of my back because I thought that would be shielded from the wind.  Clearly I have much to learn... ;)

But the audio sounded good until wind noise messed it up. I tried to post the audio here but that type of file cannot be posted.  It seems the only way to do it is to set up my own uTube or other social media site.  Oh well...

You can’t add attachments to PMs.
It’s a legacy (antiquated) system

Thanks!!  I wish the wind hadn't interfered with the engine and ended up sounding like misfiring/stuttering as the speed increased.  Don't know if it's totally a wind noise interference thing or an artifact caused by the camera's noise reduction  setting.  Guess I'll have to try it again with various settings!  :)

sounds like digital clipping to me.

If it will allow, you need to reduce the gain on the microphone input.

Thanks!!! I checked and the default gain was at 50 (of 100).  So I'll reduce it to 20 next time and see if that improves the sound.
