Planned to work on it last night to try to get most of it ready for the first fire and have the rest of this week to order parts and try to fire it on Sunday. As we started getting everything together I figured we could try to fire it just to ****s and giggles.
Harness going together.
Hotwired the fuel pump to check for leaks. The top of the fuel tank has a leaky fitting so we will have to drop the tank again. Cranked it over three times and you can tell it was trying to fire. Almost gave up for the night (it was super late) and figured we'd turn it over one more time. And....
Ran it for a few seconds because we didn't have the cooling system hooked up yet and we were leaking fuel in the rear. Super loud and the neighbors walked over to check it out and say congrats (they have been stopping by when we worked on it).
Here is the video
