Having never done this stuff before, I had no idea what to expect so be nice if you've done all this. I happily admit I'm a newb...
My comment "...this is brand new technology" was supposed to end with "to me."

But it seemed we were making progress.

Seemed to us it might not have been getting fuel. At Mark's suggestion I disconnected the ECU and the fuel pump, cracked the Return line connection at the fuel pump, put 12 v to the pump and let it run until it weeped fuel at the Return.
Then it was tighten the Return connection and run the pump for maybe 30 more seconds to see if that would fully prime the system.

Here's what that did for us:

So there it is! The beast runs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

The amazing thing to me is that the stuff I did for the first time, like making the main harness, customizing every terminal/connection on the engine and ECU harness and making all the fuel lines, all worked!

A few things left to tidy up but it's on to the next goal:

Maiden voyage on 9/14!

Huge thanks to Mark and Robert for being there to help and support me today.
@markhoward @buddyv - Guys, I couldn't have done it without you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Thanks.

Well, you called THAT perfectly! Robert @buddyv proves just how far beyond thoughtful he is with the uber cool, custom made, memorial T-shirt he broke out after the the successful start. It goes great with my Covid hair-do, don't you think? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

But seriously, a guy couldn't ask for a better pal! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Great job.

When you have so much engine and rotational inertia that the torque generated just by reving the engine makes the car body rock . . . you have probably enough engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Glad to see this beast running in the light of day!
