MK have one with the same motor - they have had three in in - all blown up (not a fault of the engine though!  ) As stated, setup correctly and if
it's on carb's a choke! HNY!

Ive got a blackbird injection in my indy and it starts every time.
If you havnt got a dry sump, I would recomend that you get one or you will learn the hard way. (ie a knocked out big end on no. 2 or 3, i cant
remember which is the weak one.

its a carb motor...im not going to track day it but i think a dry sump could be the next purchase. i have given it a service including new plugs
(think they are diamond coated!!!!). she runs fine when warm and starts no problem. its just when i have left it for a few days.

Should start 1st time(ish) with full choke - bike engines 'like a bit of choke' (as some bloke once told me.)
