Eight gallons of fuel...pushed it up to the carberator with a little compressed air in the tank..... hit the starter... got a pop (Hoston.. we have ignition) :D Hit the starter again....:D:D Whomp, whomp, whomp... :D:D ... varooom, varooom, :D:D whomp, whomp, whomp :D:D:D Gawd, this thing sounds nasty [:P]:D[:P]

Probably will take a week , or a 2x4, to knock this smile off my face :D:D:D:D

No, not a government job. I'm just getting toward the end of my career and have a boatload of vacation accumulated (and I've earned it!). Have a good weekend "wrench'in"

I'm purposely not bleeding the brakes or clucth till I get my temporary registration..... It would just be toooooooooo tempting ;) I hope I don't wear my starter out showing off the sound of this motor [:P]

Alright Phil,
Know what your feeling. Started mine up last weekend,that sound is just awsome. I couldn't wait to get it started, I've got a couple weeks till i get my body back. I have to control myself not to start it everyday.

I know how you feel.

I drove mine for 600 miles then took it apart to get it painted. It has now been a year since I have heard it run.
