So on Easter afternoon I went an drove the truck...turned the fuel pump on...couple pumps..pulled the choke..few cranks...lit off and ran at a steady 1000 rpm as I had the choke pulled enough to keep it there. Let it sit there for a few minutes...push choke in...good to go. Love that lil engine...for only having 95 pounds of compression and being 48 years old with 147,000 hard earned miles it runs like a champ. Been going easy on it, but couldn't help myself on Easter..so to make the neighbors happy(
) I did a 3rd gear burnout or dirtout in the field.
Wound it up to 4200 a couple times. Lotta fun! And since I have 2 back up engines...no worries right!?!
