Another well done from me Geeman

I love the way you appear to leg it away from the exhaust smoke in the vid

Some good progress being made there

it was the first start with the fuel from the tank and without the vapour separator. The engine seems to start better without the fuel vapour operator, although, there is still alot of smoke. The alu floor is covered in black soot from the exhaust!!

I also seem to have tempered the alu floor as its turned slightly blue now from the heat
