It Runs Again

Well I got the last of the engine mount bolts installed. Was surprised to find how much one side had fallen. Had to bring it up using a drift pin. Filled holes with J.B.Weld prior to installing the bolts so they should be in their good and well sealed.

Engine took some cranking to get started. After it got started it ran just fine and restarted without any problems. Had to let it warm up before it would pickup the prop. Not sure what is up with that. Also had a couple of minor leaks in the new exhaust plumbing. A couple of tweaks on the clamps and that seemd to clear up the problem.

Planning on starting it again tomorrow. Hopefully it will light right up with out any problems.
