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!!!:D

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

Happy to say the least:) :)

Cheers fr the replies,

chuft would be an under statement - haven't stopped grinning.

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

well done mate. 3 months and it should be on the road. think thats what it took me from starting my engine up.

Davey 21st March 2010 05:45 PM

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.
