never thought i'd see the day...
i got my engine running! and i did! TONIGHT!
every time i see one of the threads, people saying they got thier engines running, for about the last year, i always say it won't be long til i
do it.
suddenly, yesterday after putting the engine in properly and finishing off my prototype manifold i thought, hang on, i'm only a few wires away
to having this run...
well, today was the day  x50

cheers guys
lol alex, you make me blush 
going to try for a longer more convincing run tomorrow, and i'll get a proper video, rather than the one we managed tonight, where the sound on
my phone sounds like its still on the starter, and all the stuff on the rrof doesn't fall on me...

It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Nice Job - bet you can't stop smiling
I think you should still post the video you have, though, whatever the quality

Well done. Its a great feeling isn't it.

I think we've all been waiting for this moment too. The number of times we've heard "mine will be soon"!
Well done! That's a major milestone passed!
