Brief Description:  First engine start

After spending most of the day doing tidy up stuff, more safety wiring, installing split pins etc. I got to the point where I could finally add some fuel to the tanks and start the engine. All it took was a few seconds running the electric fuel pump to prime the carbie and the engine fired on ran on the first press of the starter button. I have to say I was really impressed. I need to adjust my sensor for the tacho as its not reading at very low revs, but that is just a matter of screwing it in a little more to close the gap between the sensor and the posts on the flywheel.
