I like how you can see the firing sequence of the cylinders from the puffs of smoke coming out the exhausts.

@bennyc333 I must admit that that is one of my favourite moments too.

Besides the rude colored fella comment you used more than half of the video to get the damn thing running. Next time start it and turn it off then do this video.

[flyingscrapyard]

@SuperFamousSeamus Perhaps I could or maybe you could spend 1/2 a watt of effort and use the slider bar at the bottom of the picture to get to the bit you can't wait a whole minute to see. If you're so busy that you can't wait that long, why are you wasting time watching You tube?

[SuperFamousSeamus]

@flyingscrapyard I suppose I could do just that but by the time learned where it was I was there. The point is not wasting my time it is wasting video time. I do not know why so many people have to go through myriad gyrations before showing us what the title that got our attention says we will see. In the future I will use the slider and assume that I am skipping over the part where the camera is running but the show has not quite yet begun. Do you think I can reverse it if I overshoot?

[flyingscrapyard]

@SuperFamousSeamus It's like the anticipation of a delicious meal from the aroma coming from the kitchen before hand. Instant gratification is probably not good for you. At the very least, a slow boring video such as this will help fill in your day. Don't watch the other video of it shutting down as it will be full of broken dreams. Try typing in Ripsaw instead.

holy shit, is it okay if I fap to this?

[AndreiTupolev]

@SuperFamousSeamus Wasting video time? it's one minutes 50 seconds. Heavens, get a sense of proportion.

I wish they had smilies on here, this would definitely warrant a rolls eyes.

[haggis2112]

On the days when things don't go to plan ,i like to finish with the sound of metal reborn from the greatest engine made by man.(or woman)

[bmgm3]

@flyingscrapyard

Please do the same video but in slightly darker lighting conditions. Not totall darkeness, but just enough to really show off the blue flames exitng the exhaust stubs. 

[arpharsed]

Superb, made my night! Thank you 

[ollieisaninja]

None of that Pratt & Whitney rubish! My respect & admiration goes to you for bringing such a fantastic engine back to life. What a sound!
