Default The Beast Awakens!

Finally, finally, after umpteen distractions, countless interruptions and generally loads of other things going on in life. 3 1/2 years after my donor was switched off, at the 5th turn of the key today,the beast burst into life, purring like a kitten ( well not quite but you know what I mean). What a good feeling! especially for someone like me who is not an engineer, knows only basics about mechanics and even less about the vaguaries of EFI. Brill,brill,brill! Sorry if I'm OTT but I was beginning to doubt if this would ever happen. Ain't no stopping us now!

Alfie.
