It doesn't matter how big or little the engine, it always feels good when they crack up for the first time. Just after Chrimbo I fitted a replacement engine into a small quad my son and his mate bought (piece of crap really but they want to play;) ). New engine was an Ebay purchase and not specifically for this chinese quad so some mods were in order, anyway after about three hours pratting about spread over three days I finally got it to start, no exhaust fitted so rather loud but it didn't stop me giving it some big licks on the throttle. Mrs did video it on my phone but TBH the sound quality is so distorted its rubbish.

Anyways, good show Andy, you'll soon be treating us all to day like Ash has given us today, didn't know there could be so many expectant fathers:D
