Its a runner! (well for a few seconds)

It official, the engine ran at approx 6pm today. It did only run for around
5 seconds, but I was never going to run it for long with no water and no
exhaust!!!!!!!!

It is turning over really slowly however, so tomorrow I'll try a different
battery and see if that helps starting it.

Now, I'm having a well deserved beer.

Cheers and beers,

well done.

Nice when it all works.

Did the same with mine last week after not running it for a year.

Did you have an exhaust fitted Steve? I'm thinking of starting in again in the morning, about 8 ish. What do you think? That should wake the neighbours!!!

They sound cool with no 'xhaust!
