Had a hiccup with this one....

On an attempted start-up, I believe I had pumped way too much fuel into the chamber and it hydro locked or fired too early destroying the connecting rod.

Today a new one arrived from Stirlingkit.

I will report on my repair and try to avoid this going forward.
So... new connecting rod, retard the injector timing a bit, and shorten the injector stroke.
