Default Its a runner.

Well I thought I'd better give it a try ( been putting it off).

Here's the link, mate came for moral support, wife and daughter took footage hence the jumpy picture on start!!!

Carbs have not been tweaked yet, so as they came.

Happy to say the least

& the "Oh my god" at the end

Don't know why I was delaying starting it, but glad its out of the way.

Just need to source an exhaust now.

Well done Daz, that's gotta be a great feeling when it "lives and breathes" for the first time. Mine is a long way off yet but I'm still impatient to hear it bark for the first time.
