It Runs!!!

[PaulR]

Well, over 4 years ago I started on my t bucket and yesterday my son and I started it. I did try starting it over the Christmas weekend but the timing was off. Fixed that and now it makes noise. I don't have to sit on it (not in it as there is no body yet) and do. I'd post a short video of as I know those here like pictures except I have no clue how to do that... Mike??? It is an *.MOV format. I'm happy it runs now.

Thanks! It is cool! I may have it ready for Spring 2013.... It is a great feeling knowing that I started with nothing but a bunch of parts and over time it came together and actually runs. I do have a couple of items to fix on the engine. One, a leaking fuel pump. Two, determine why the temp gauge did not work, and three, set the initial timing. Motorvation to get it done in the future.

That first few fireups are always exciting, no matter how many you have done. You can probably do a YouTube then post the link on here, unless there is some other way I don't know about. But we want to see that video.

Yes!-- A video of the first start-up must be in the rules of the forum somewhere. ​

Congratulations! No matter how many engines you build...there is always a smile when it cranks over the first time!​

YouTube and Vimeo are your friends. Once uploaded there, simply copy the video's URL into a forum post and Bob's your uncle.

Congratulations!
