A momentus occasion

What a couple of days I've had!
It started off last night working in the garage when I slipped with a hacksaw and ended up down at casualty for a few stiches in my finger, Then.
Today We got the motor running but with petrol running out of one of the carbs. With this sorted we thought that the motor was quite noisy, a bit of head scratching later I remembered that I hadn't put enough oil in it so off I go to get the oil........
! hour later I return, fill the oil and then.........................................................

It moves under its own steam only up the drive and roud the corner but.... It moves
The motor still needs setting up yet but it's getting there.

BTW if anyone's interested there's a video clip **HERE!**
John.

Very cool video!

Well done on getting it running.

I had my trip to casualty on one day and the first drive on another day. I don't like too much excitement in one day!

Cheers

Mike
