Nice. That's just about the way my day started, a bit choked up and tight , but once I warmed up (it's 55 degrees @ 7:00am) and loosened up I'm running just like the "Y" . Going to have fun today, even in NJ while on my forever "BREAK".

Sorta starts like my Homebrew Hvid engine. Crank, crank, smoke white for a few strokes then smoke gets darker as the piston and explosion cup warm up. Finally, "Knnnnnnnack, knnnnnnack, knnnnnnack!" and it starts to run.

I start to run outta cranking power about the time the engine gets to running on it's own. Kinda like running outta air on the big boys.

Take care - Elden
