ashg - 1/11/09 at 09:21 PM

just a normal panasonic dmc-tz3 digital stills camera. its my "workshop" camera only on account that it has got so grubby from being in diry hands all the time

its been a while since i uploaded to youtube, when i used to do it the videos used to get very heavily compressed!

im hopefully getting mine started in a month or two! ill post a vid up then , hope it goes as well as yours ash.

i dont know what it does but i do know it took an hour to upload it. im sure yours will run fine. i still cant get over how easy it is to run on bike carbs and mjolt

Well done Ash.

Did you have to do anything with the fuel pipes/filter in the end.

or was it just a matter of connecting the fuel pump and return??

Man, you are really moving along on that build. Wish I'd been able to contact you last year when I was at Detling. Spent 10 days in C'bury - with a car.
