Thanks guys.  I will give you a teaser, had it all together with my new bodged-up air line connector and it ALMOST
turned over.... of course, this was the lazy-man's effort with out a number of reasonably important gaskets
and minor things like piston rings....shouldn't be long now.

Cheers, Joe

   :whoohoo: :whoohoo:  We have a RUNNER!

After a fair bit of mucking around with valve settings and leaking gaskets,
it works...

It's all downhill from here... once I stop grinning enough to get back to work.

Cheers, Joe

Congratulations on getting it to run!  :ThumbsUp:

The only sad pat is that I can't see the video. It says the account isn't there any more :(

But it's great to hear that it runs!

I see the video just fine, and it's great to see a first run. Especially one that's so good right off!!
