Re: First time engine strating

When i do this by myself i always hook up a remote starter switch. That way i can run the carb linkage by hand and look for fuel leaks. And i hook up a timing light incase i was way off. And a tach to watch the rpm's. And i have a couple gallons of water ready for when the thermostat opens.(i would take it out for break-in). And a screw driver ready to turn up the idle so i don't have to stand there holding the throttle. And power stearing fluid ready if that got emptyed.
And...And... sorry for all the and's.
