Just got my volvo engine started and did a short vid. Unfortunately my clutch isn't bleeding properly otherwise I'd have driven it round the
drive! I have one of those ezi-bleed kits but the clutch fluid just p1sses out of the reservoir when I try and use it I can't seem to tighten
it enough. First run so still pretty rough and no exhaust so very loud (hence short vid to stay in favour with the neighbours)

Idle is a bit high, I think I have an air leak inlet manifold side. I'm using a 92' plenum stub but the bolt pattern for a 95' is
slightly different so I could only get half the bolts in, I'll swap them over tomorrow probably

Ive got no sound on my pc but it looked good
Great!! i wonder if the wife will get me one
for crimbo.
Well done mate. I didn't post my first start and I hope you don't have any of the post first start gremlins that I've had with megasquirt. It's taken 3 months since first start till today when (fingers crossed, touch wood, and look out for black cats), i may just very possibly be a happy man.
For the ezi-bleed kits some PTFE tape around the thread on the top is normally required to get a good seal
Nice engine start BTW!!
