[QUOTE="mike.s, post: 176206, member: 13548"] Its ALIVE ! :mrgreen: finished building the engine up and all the little jobs today - [img]http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ORnVLtrsh8s/SzzeKwkwoJI/AAAAAAAAAr0/zMiGVpT9C6A/s640/Image242.jpg[/img] then finished wiring the ignition up, connected the battery and got this on the turn off the key - [img]http://lh6.ggpht.com/_ORnVLtrsh8s/SzzeLfLgajI/AAAAAAAAAr4/MX98cJTslOg/s640/Image243.jpg[/img] (yes, i know the speedo is upside down!) after a bit of faffing not having enough fuel, i fiddled with the carb making it richer and the engine burst into life!! finally - and i managed it before the end of the year! i missed a wire of the generator and regulator which caused a few problems - i only ran the engine for a few seconds but the gen light was going on and off and when i shut it down the dynamo was smoking and the battery flat - the red light stayed on on the dash too even after i had cut the ignition. Will have to have a look at that. Anyway - Happy New Year everyone!! Mike [/QUOTE]
