First session this morning: -put on interiror placards -put the front seat ramps and cushions back in -checked the starter circuit - it cranks! -more FWF securing -Put 10 gal per side in the tanks - no leaks!
That evening I came back out and Jim Baldwin and I ran the engine for the 1st time - magical. Initially presurized the fuel system and had a leaking fitting - fixed that and.... crank, crank, crank starts roughly, then picks up. Oil pressure is good, fuel press is high (I'm researching this), everything is great!!! I run it for less than 5 minutes and shut it down to inspect.
Post engine run! It was just me and Jim so no action photos - he was on the extinguisher
