Got the Port engine fired up today. It took a bit because like the non-mechanic I am I had the timing out 180 deg. After moving it, it fired right up. I broke the cam in for 20 min. or so and adjusted the idle timing and fuel air. They are both running great. I have a couple of electrical issues to take care of in the gages I'll fix those tommorrow and get back on the floors.
It sounds really good with those 5" pipes out the back and both engines running. It was really nice to see water flowing out of the pipes.
I'm going to clean the bilge up and install the floors I have made for it.
I'm happy this was a big day today!!!!!!

Well it's been a while, I've been super busy and haven't spent much time with My Mistress is a while. So this weekend was going to be the starting of the Stbd engine. She ran great, I ran the cam in for 20 min. then set the idle and she is purring like a kitten. It sounded realy good through that 5" exhaust. I'm going to start the Port engine this week. I'll give you another report when it starts.
