First video is of First start! :D Was a bit rough as it's running pretty rich. Need to check timing and adjust the carb.
Second video is of smooth idle and running the motor up to temp.
Have a bit of work to do to get to go-carting. Maybe next week?

Steve-
Engine sounds great! She's going to sound great running down the road!
You have been building at breakneck speed. I have been puttering along, and always marvel at folks like you that are able to get so much done so quickly.
Congratulations on the first -- and second start!
Regards,
Steve

GREAT JOB! First starts are just about THE coolest thing about a build. Maybe the first go-cart is THE coolest, but dang it's too close to call!
