GOOD JOB ! it is so satisfying whena car starts up AFTER BEING LAID STILL FOR A LONG TIME ! WE'RE ALL WITH YOU !!!!

any effort is worth it to bring back a flattie. i don't care if the flattie doesn't produce as much horsepower, the feel and the sound of the flatties make up the difference.

Good Show Mart, The engine seems to be in good condition - I didn't see much smoke from the exhaust. Another one brought back to life. Cheers.

Jolly good, there! Rather nice rumble.
Anyone notice when I get a real jolt from the ignition at around the minute mark. I'm so focussed on what I'm doing I virtually ignore it.
Thanks for the comments guys, I had a problem with the motor after a while, there was a washer or something got down on top of one of the pistons, it must have remained there for a while and then come dislodged and made a right mess of the piston. Managed to swap in one new piston and now it's been running a while it's the sweetest flatty I've ever had.
