After unboxing, checking things over, oiling the moving parts and adding water to the cooling tower, primed the mixer and it started right up on the first try.
This thing will blow smoke rings for days, so use it outside or with the garage door open.
The engine runs quite well, the mixer/carb is set to run rich for low speed and lean for high speed. Lean condition for too long will cause the engine to run hot, so run it rich and slow.
Fuel mixed 25/1 per directions, using Marvel Mystery oil as it does not gum up.
With a little attention to detail, it can be dressed up to look quite remarkable.
Brass fuel pipe is 4mm, 1/4" wire loom to hide the wire, replaced the brass/copper exhaust fittings for a clean straight pipe, made the wooden box to hide the electronics and added the cylinder oiler. This should come with it imo, but it was fun to search for one and this looks pretty good. Info on the oiler can be found in the video description. 10/32 thread for the oiler.
Would recommend.
