It's Alive!
I am proud to announce that after a gestation period of some 5 years....
The engine started first time this evening! 
It ran pretty rough but it did run! so despite my lack of knowedge I have obviously got something right!
I guess I now have to move on to reading the bits of the megasquirt manuals that describe how to actually tune it now!
Still - chuffed for now! a MAJOR milestone reached

I saw a green and yellow Tiger on Sunday at the junction opposite our house in Clay Cross, driver had a black fleece and hat on. It sounded alright
too.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
