[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 108612, member: 485"] Thanks Dave, Been up all night trying to think what it was !. Another bit of Magic. In a Video of mine, That I would never show, I made a twit of myself, A few years ago, And I have been starting these Beasts for over 50 years. It was an engine that had been on the floor since the 60 s, With the covers off, But after turning the engine over many times on the bench, I thought it would be a Runner !. Filled the cylinders etc with WD40 then engine Oil, So did not think it would start for a bit, Oil every where !!. But it was firing and Kicking back, Really Bad !!!!, But would I give up ?, Not me, What a Plonker . Night time came, And They dragged me off it, Had to go in for dinner. Soon as my head hit the pillow, I thought, I took the end cap off the mag' just before trying to start it, And put it back 180 degrees wrong. Next morning I had to wrap my foot with Gaffer Tape, Before I put my boot on, It was Black and blue !!, Oh the Pain !. But we got it going, So it was all worth it. Have Lots of Fun with Yours, Bill.
