Igor, its alive, alive i tell you!!!

Yep, it works..... it lives, ITS ALIVE!!!!!

With many many many thanks to NS_DEV for doing all the head scratching we got the beasty fired up.

Boy was it loud without an exhaust!!!!

Boy was it fun hearing it start. Got a strange noise which might be an air leak or could be the starter not disengaging, but i'll figure it out and fix it in time.

Great, Great .... its fan-blooming-tastic.

oh, the memories will live for a long time.

As soon as it fired, it was so loud i jumped backwards (didn't fit the exhaust) pulling the starter lead with me and disconnecting it. Scared, i almost needed new underwear (but glad to see i've still got lightening reactions).

Later on, trying to figure out the strange noise I had my head over the carb as it blew back ..... wow....

aaaahhhh no such fun with mine - it's fuel injected so behaved in a very civilised manner.

I had no exhaust though and you're dead right about the noise!!

I bumped into my next door neighbour the next morning (I started mine at 21:45 ) and he said "I take it we have contact then??"

Yeah baby!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm, I set a time limit of 8pm. I've got nice neighbours who've never complained and i didn't want them too.......

I was thinking of stopping a little earlier but NS_DEV persuaded me to keep going. Boy am I glad he did.....
