It´s alive....

After some intense nights in the John Doe garage, yesterday was the night to start up the Express engine. I really hate those start up sessions! There is a lot of "What if´s" rumbling around inside my head. But after putting the engine in the start bench, turning the engine over with the starter with no ignition until there was oilpressure, and a few drops of petrol in each carb I was releaved that it pretty much fired right up! And after some adjustments to the carb´s and the linkage today, it all sounds pretty good I think. I can´t wait to get it in the back of the oval now.
