So happy you got this, I was worried sickAbout 20 posts ago, I asked a question that by and large descended into a discussions about the metal composition of the gears. All I needed was to realize that the tang was engaging BEFORE I got the gear all the way in, so instead of having the slot pointing to #1, it needed to be 30ish degrees CCW. Dropped right in. 3 days for 5 seconds of STEM thinking.
I have first and second start videos. No tapping, no bad noises, sucking air in start 1 because the plenum wasn't bolted down, and no water in start 2 because I forgot to open the sea cock. I'll set the timing when it cools down, and then it's off to the races (at break in speeds). What should I give it? 10 hours?
