yyiiiipppeeeeeeee!!!!!!
first start today
after spending the majority of yeaterday and most of this morning trying to get her timed right to be able to start, i gave up at about 1
o'clock, decided to take a break from it and do something else, so i cut the dash and positioned the lights and switches.
went back to trying to sort the timing at about 4 o'clock and after realising i had the leads attached clockwise not anti-clockwise as should
be i managed to get her to splutter into life
considering she hasnt been turned for what must be ten years till about 10 days ago when i started to sort the oil pressure im pretty well pleased
the grin is huge
video is here it is very blurry for some reason but who cares
yipppeeeeeeee!!!!herehere
