So guys, the moment I have been working my butt off for 8 months. It finally payed off :woohoo:

The engine startet pretty much right up once the mixture and idle rpm was set. I have only run the engine for a few minutes @2200rpm to have the coolant system bleeded and to check for leaks. I dont like putting my head around a spinning propeller. I know the manual says NO RUNNING WITHOUT A PROP, but im pretty confident 5 minutes @2200rpm hasent caused any damage. Anyways, I will bolt on a temporarily propeller for futher groundtesting and do as much ground running and EFI adjusting until I get and bolt on the new propeller !

Stay tune !

Sorry, the video was shot in 1080HD but converted wrong when editing. The text and image was lousy and out of the video frame, but it give you all an idea of the sound :D
