WE HAVE FIRE!!!!(pronounced 'far' in the South)... Yesterday, we started the engine...after the 4th attempt. We loaded in our ten dollar-a-quart motorcycle (3 quarts), purged the system, and cranked 'er up. It seems as though our battery wasn't charged completely, so we hooked up the lawnmower battery along with a charger, and it managed to spin the prop a couple of times, which was enough to get it started. We didn't have any leaks, except for the antifreeze leak, which was fixed with a flick of the screwdriver on one of the connections. Now we need to readjust the throttle control a little, sand some more on the cowling, rehang the front radiator, and we're ready to take The Puppy up to the airport, where we'll await the return of our registration materials.
I took a non-event video of the whole process and will try to post it later.
