Nice work mate but I think the engine has poor compression but as can be heard in the video the valves are leaking other wise it should have started first kick!! I have about six of these engines, single cylinders and two cylinders!

John Hili I agree the compression was pretty poor, I blamed that on brand new rebore, new poison and rings, it is better now it run in

Robby Berry it was fully rebuilt, re bored, new oversized piston and rings, new fuel pump and injector, and everything else was taken apart and cleaned, so it had a lot of love.

Nice engine, if that's its first run you need to put foot in that guys rear end for Erving it up that high on first run. These old engine are splash oil feed this means it was dry still in places and that guy ran a huge risk of destroying your engine with its first minute of running.

WidowUK I partly agree with you, though the lubrication is via pump, everything had been well oiled when put together and the engine had been turned a lot to ensure the fuel and oil systems where well primed so i think the risk was fairly low, I don’t like revving loading engines until they are warmed up generally though

Buddy Sorry I don't know how much you will pay, my crank was in perfect condition, I believe Ray Hooley in the UK has new main bearings and rings available, his email address can be found by googleing his nameCheers, Chris
