It Started...!!!

After much fiddling and fixing I got it to fire a bit.

This engine was built as throttle governed as opposed to hit and miss.

It has a simple liquid fuel carburetor. I attached a propane gas demand regulator to the fuel boss and opened the needle valve 4-6 full turns. After messing with the air flow I got to actually run for some seconds.

Finally, after working on it for 3 weeks, this is a good milestone.

Video below.

Enjoy!
