+1 on the safety items.

A video on here is obligatory.
Or on Youtube and a link to it. either will do.

+1 more for fire extinguisher! And don't tighten the battery terminals in case they need to come off quick!

Well, update on first start. Made all checks, fuel pipes all secure.

Have good oil pressure
Got good fuel pressure, swirl pot filled, returns wroking, pumps working.
Got spark.
Got flat battery

I am using an old battery that I obtained so whilst I was doing the wiring I could check as I went along, charged it up but just not enough power to turn engine over well with the plugs in. Im confident it will start, so just got to get a new battery then will try again
