I agree it should be lots easier to test run a motor on a stand. I hate tweekng things and setting timing while standing on my head or leaning over the fender trunk lid or crawling underneath to check for leaks and checking valves again.

Plus I should be able to piss the nieghbors off running it in the back yard under the porch cover. Near the beer reefer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)
