Fired it up tonight with open headers and shot a live video over on InstaGram under my username daytona69Z. I'll edit the video and upload it here in the AM but fired it a couple times and will tune it tomorrow. Exciting times for sure.

Ok here's one for the insomniacs out there. Just be sure to turn your volume down because you'll wake up anyone else in your household. Runs good but I quickly ran the carb out of fuel a couple times just so I could hear it tonight. I'll fill the tank tomorrow and give it a needed tuning. It was getting late and didn't want to disturb all the neighbors so this was all for now.

Love me some open headers at 4:50am eastern. Outstanding work Graeme!

Nothing like firing it up for the first time and especially with open headers. Have followed the thread since the beginning, and has been quite impressive not only with the quality of the build, but the pace of progress throughout the entire process has been amazing for a garage build.

Congrats on a job well done. Can't wait to see and hear the video of you ripping through the gears.

That's great. I sure wish you were able to bring it to SCR. It would be awesome to see it running down Beech Bend drag strip. Maybe another time.

Hoping to have it there next year Freddie. The borders remain closed this month but should ease forward to slowly open up soon as long as the new Covid strains don't impede that. Some countries are seeing 3rd and 4th waves due to the Delta & Lambda variants so who knows where this will go.
