Default at last its alive !!
finally got it running ! after not having time and all the problems with megasquirt its finally alive ! it doesnt sound too healthy and its only a first start on megasquirt but its running at last after i never thought id hear it run.


i came home thought right lets look at the settings once more with it plugged in cranked and noticed the advance was way way out ( why i hadnt looked before god knows ) its tappetty but it was when i bought it and i have valves working 5" from the air intake so some issues to sort.

great feeling

I had worn lifters on my original cvh engine Rob, all i could do was to replace them but wasn't too expensive. Soon afterwards the clam shells started knocking on the crank, engine just couldn't take the pace. Engine soon got upgraded.

Nice one Rob, not watched the vid yet (at work) but the Ecotec's do sound like a tractor if you remove all the standard airbox, they all sound like it, from new.

I remember putting a K&N filter on mine and thinking 'that doesn't sound right!' but they all do it.
