She Lives!

After fitting the second side pipe and a bit of double checking of everything prior to actually turning the key I plucked up the courage and went for it.

Using a jerry can at the mo as I need a reducer for the actual tank. Key in, turn to second position and the fuel pump primed........Breathed in and turned the key. Turned over twice and fired up! Runs absolutely beautifully with no need to change any carb settings. Mike Huddart is a miserable git, but when it comes to engines this boy knows his stuff.

After warming up for a few minutes I set the rad fan to come on at 80 Degrees. The noise these exhausts make is truly epic and is exactly the rumble I was looking for. You can almost hear each piston moving at idle.

I haven't managed to get a decent video of the engine noise yet as I cant get the sound to work properly but Ill get something up soon for prosperity.
