    First Start - Blue Print 427

    https://youtu.be/bO6pbgtTRR0

    https://youtu.be/fkafRL2NoLc

    First video is of First start! Was a bit rough as it's running pretty rich. Need to check timing and adjust the carb.

    Second video is of smooth idle and running the motor up to temp.

    Have a bit of work to do to get to go-carting. Maybe next week?

    Steve-

    Engine sounds great! She's going to sound great running down the road!

    You have been building at breakneck speed. I have been puttering along, and always marvel at folks like you that are able to get so much done so quickly.

    Congratulations on the first -- and second start!

    Regards,

    Steve

    GREAT JOB! First starts are just about THE coolest thing about a build. Maybe the first go-cart is THE coolest, but dang it's too close to call!
