Well I cant believe it!! Thurs night I cranked her over to gain oil pressure, was a struggle so ended up removing the oil filter banjo and force feeding it, was getting late after this so on fri eve wired in the fuel pump and attempted to "prime" the system, but rapidly realised I had the fuel supply to the carb attached to the anti run on valve prt o the carb (ooops) so this plut lay t plans of strting it fri. This afternon I went over to have another go, unplugged the mj and with the 1s throw of he key it sprung into life, plugged the Mj back in and so far seems ok. (need to aqurie a laptop in the next few days to check it is actually working) Have set fuel pressure to 3.5 psi at idle, unsure of the mixture, but havent touched it since it came off a running car (about 4 years back) am getting a worry on about choke seals tho, might order a rebuil kit? Engine is a tad smokey when revved heavilly (not on boost) used the block in the car as n/a 2 years ago when I su a big end bearing on the 998 and it didnt smoke then, im just hoping its worn vavle guides?

Had to get a longer top steady made for mine. No way an original was going to fit. It was about an inch too short. Own the day
