WOW I was waiting for the tools to start falling of the wall! Also that flywheel looks like it would like to ruin someone's life!

Note to self (read as "You") - Remove all loose objects before next start. No offence intended man, great sound in that one. / B.

[@RatsburyRaven74]

This looks like my first attempt at starting a motor...uh oh I forgot!!

[@andrewsmart2949]

either that radiators is blocked or you got a huge comprssion leak into cooling jacket

[@fritzficke]

You are right. I pulled the plugs and found the second cylinder is bad, I removed it and checked it hoping to sleave it to fix the compression leak but it is cracked where a sleave will not fix it. I am going to reassemble and try some of that new crack fix stuff you put in the coolant.

[@171apples171]

You can fix the crack too.. drill a hole in the ends of the crack to stop it from continuing.. then braze it shut. Hell, even properly cured JB weld holds up to some really crazy stuff lol

Beautiful!!

Did the Generator fall off ?

[@fritzficke]

Yes. I had just had it sitting there. I decided to mount the starting engine and thought I would see if it would even turn the engine over. It did , then I t off the starting engine fuel tank and asked my wife to film it and dammed if it did not start on the mag. since the coil was not even hooked up.

There is sh!t falling off, pretty soon the only thing left is 1 piston and the radiator.
