Take the oil out of that leg and it will not leak

I'm way ahead of you there Bob - Shhhh...!

 

[Derek]

You are mistaken Derek, it is half full.

I would think that from LIndsay's perspective it was definitely half empty.

:flash: IT RUNS !!! :flash:

Positives;

• Starts on the button
• Idles
• Crisp on the throttle
• Sounds like evil incarnate! (nae lums )
• Battery Charges
• Doesn't pish petrol everywhere (gravity feed for now )
• Doesn't pish oil everywhere

Niggles;

• Tiny wee oil leak (not even a leak) at one of the three screws that holds on the triangular plate for the oil return - should be easy fixed.
• Not convinced by the engine paint. The heads will be fine, the outer casings were done in two pack and are hard as nails, but the crankcases that were done with rattle cans feel 'soft' ... hopefully that good heat through will have done some good

Nae excuses now - crack on :thumbs:

 

[Derek]
