IT'S ALIVE!!!
Well sort of. it started ok and sounds a little lumpy at idle (always does when its cold) . seemed a tad crisper on the throttle. so I hooked up the vacuum gauges. in truth it is not that far off the mark by the look of it..
I decided to can it for the night, its fairly loud with the blue flame exhaust (Mrs moaned) and the garage got cold fairly quickly with the door open. lets face it exhaust gases are not your friend.
I will go back out tomorrow after studying the carb synch guide a few times to get it straight in my head.
And yes AyJay i doubt very much it will be out this weekend or the next by the look of it. Oh well
Thanks again guys for the help and guidance. really is one of the best forums I have been a member of over the years.
I will update on how the balancing goes tomorrow.
