Waa hoo!!! At exactly 1710 hrs, 24 Mar 07, my Big '49 roared (no mffler yet) back to life on the FIRST TRY.

I had the motor at TDC, set the timing, pumped up the fuel, squirted a little ether, hit the pedal and

IT STARTED!!!

Boy, is it loud, though.

grin grin grin

Pictures soon.

In the Gallery.
