I picked up some gas on my way home from work and mixed in the oil at 37:1. It just happened to work out that way. I was shooting for something between 32:1 and 40:1.
It took about 10 kicks and little adjusting of the idle screw on the carb, but it fired up. I’m pretty excited about it.
Here’s the video of idling for the first time. The spill on the floor is from the hercules project, not this one.
