Finally cranked the engine over.
It finally happened, I turned the key on after the TPI install.
We had to replace a few o-rings, but other than that, no fuel leaks (at the time).
First crank was a huge backfire. Changed the timing and she started right up.
Of course there are no mufflers and it was 10:00 pm, so we shut it off and will have to tune it later in the week.
At least it started.... but this morning I had a HUGE leak in the fuel line at one of the unions. So it looks like I have to replace that section. Oh well. :rolleyes:

Cool. It's not really started for the first time without a backfire.
Congrats - looks like you're on your way to driving her this season.
So that's what that big boom was - followed later by a deep rumbling sound. :lolg:
Good luck getting all the loose ends wrapped up. :smash: :seeya
