Finished and tested all of the stuff needed to get the engine to go. The starter turns it over and I've got oil pressure. The ignition sparks and it's stactic timed to 12 degrees BTDC. The fuel pump pumps fuel. I'm all set.

But I'm not gonna start it until we can celebrate. Next Saturday around 4 PM at my place. Anybody who's planning to come let me know so we have enough food and beer. Wives and GF's always welcome.

Dave

Here's a map

You're really into tempting fate, eh Dave?
It might be fun just to come and watch you sweat

Just myself Dave. See ya at 4:00.

Tim

Flyin back form Santa Barbara Fri. night but Ill make it out.
How early?
DOH! 4PM No sweat

Rich, Rocky it'll be good to see you guys here. JP I hope you can make it. There's plenty of sweatin goin on. I found a couple of oil leaks tonight. 2 pushrod seals and the taco plate.

Here the engine on my homemade test stand. Minus carbs cause Kevin's bringin them.

Dave

Congrats!

Looks familiar.

Have a party

KT

doesn't jake have engine-blow-up parties as well from time to time?




j/k! looks schweet!
Andy

I'd send it to hell proudly.... It has too many cylinders anyway

o-u-c-h.... <_<

KT

2270/4 prolly puts out mo powa than youre six.

maybe he's compensating for something

Dave:

Me and the Boss will be there...

See ya @ 4...

2-OH!

Where's the exhaust Dave Im suseptable to headachs unless plied with beer and tequila.

I love the smell of a fresh engine in the evening...smells like...money.

Tim

Dave!
I just received the ok to attend since Shane helped me work on the bathroom this past weekend!
I am trying to get Christine to come along.
as Flounder once said
OH BOY This is GONNA be great!

see you around 1:00. have a spot open in the garage for my car. so we don't have to pull the carbs in the rain.

kevin

I don't think I can make it, Dave... it's my Mom's 77th birthday on Saturday, and I have to be in Everett at 4:30 for our family celebration. Dinner, cake, wine, and lots of laughs.

But I'll be missing out. For me, your engine fire-up party would be a fun and memorable hoot of a time, and also an opportunity for a refresher course on carburetors!!

Mmm, open exhaust. Don't forget your earplugs.

WHAT????


Hey, your mom has a birthday every year. Dave only does one motor in a lifetime.

Geoff

WHAT????

Yeah, I know...

Mmm, Steak....

Mmmm, Beer....

Leffe?.. perhaps a pre-party sample?

I could stay until 3:00.. no, 3:30.

Roger

Kevin is coming about 1 to put his carbs on the new engine. You're sure welcome to come and help. I'm pretty sure most everyone else is coming around 4. I don't have any Leffe but I can dig up some kind of decent brew.

Dave

I'll run by the only store I know to get some Leffe ($11 a six pack) if you are gonna show up Roger.
Monique and I are coming sometime around 4pm maybe a little earlier. I can't remember how to work on carbs as it was so long ago....


Geoff

I'll be gone by then, but you'll see evidence of my being there... a Mahle wheel for RichD.
I have to leave before the action starts, but I'll probably hear it just before I hit warp speed. Kevin's super-potent start-up powder is actually rhody fertilizer.
