You guys get to witness my very first fire up

I don't know if video links are allowed on here, but I finally hooked up my fuel pump and ran it until the carb filled.
I wasnt sure she'd fire up smoothly or not so I shot some video with my phone just in case it erupted in flames. I was pleasantly surprised.

I like it. Good sound and great color even though a massive fire ball would have been epic.

That is alright. There is a hum in the video or my speakers but I thought that it was running from the start of the video and then when you went to turn the key I thought what the hell is he doing and then the good sound came in. Love it
