Did first start last Saturday.
Was a tense moment as I've only assembled a B&S motor back in Jr. High(1973 or 1974).
Had a friend over to help, don't think it would have went as well without him. He was the one who worked the throttle and distributor to get it to light off.
It sounded real nice once it settled down. Only had a few coolant leaks to take care of, though did require removing intake manifold ane replacing china wall cork seals with a big bead of form-a-gasket seal.
Now my big question, how to post a video?

Steve, congratulations. I started mine on July 4 and ended up putting 2 videos on YouTube and posting a link on my build thread. I had asked how and the link below is the thread with responses.

I have videos posted on both the FF Roadster and builders pages. How would I link them?
