Awesome. The first startup is great. I think I've got you beat; I've been working on mine since Sept. 2010. lol. I just started mine last week too.

Lookin good man! Sounds pretty healthy too. That has to feel good to be about done.
yea it feels awesome mainly because i did everything on my own in the backyard. ive done little mechanic stuff here and there but this is the most work ive ever done myself. from removing the old engine to putting this one in...messing with the wiring and everything.Quote:

oh ok...yea i was working on mine almost everyday for about 2 months straight. then took a month off. doing the work yourself is far more rewarding IMO.Quote:
