The short answer is Not Yet. I had forgotten just how many details goes into hooking the engine up and getting it ready to run. A lot of time today was spent getting the two ignition systems statically set. I only had to pull 009 gear once, but the Magneto was a different story. The drive puck has five positions in which to install it on the back of the crank. It seems that I has to try each once twice to find an alignment with TDC. I also dissambled the turbine end of the turbo to check for junk and did manage to find some. I checked the fuelsystem for tightness. The new starter had to wired, because it was different then the old starter in that it has it's own solenoid. It is wired and ops checked to the cockpit switch. My battery is now on the charger for a 2 amp overnight top off. The starter seems to turn the engine good, however the second set of plugs is not installed. The engine is full of oil. Tomorrow or Monday I must wire the distributer, the magneto and the alternator if I can remember where all those wires go. I have a diagram which might still be accurate, if I did not make some mods and not update the darn thing. Well, it's time to go home. I may have to stay home tomorrow if it looks like a case of AIDS is developing.
I hope all you builders had a productive day. No excuse for not going to the gathering. If you have, to give all your gathering blocking events a good excuse Orma L. Robbins A&P/IA KR-2 N110LR Southfield, MI
