We did the 1st startup of #99 today and I'm a happy camper. It was almost anti-climactic as we primed the fuel system (old school carbadrooler) with a primer bulb from an outbooard motor fuel tank, fixed a couple of minor leaks, gave it a couple of good accelerator pump shots, and she fired right off.
