We refrained from going out Friday night, got up early and went to work in the shop. We got the magneto installed in fairly good order which was our biggest fear. The "directions" that came with it left a little to be desired but we waded through them anyway. After remembering to hook up a "kill switch" ( bare wire to frame, which was perhaps grand thinking), remembering to plug the oil drain line, a completely faulty carburetor that came from a "friend", and a half an hour of Nate kick starting the sucker, it finally took off. I think we both shit our pants when it finally did, as we had become lulled by the process. Nuts! I feel a little like I've been witness to a creation by Victor Frankenstein. Quite the Red Letter Day! And we only started it all less than a year ago...:)
Now to get it passed by the DOT!
