i knew you would be more than pleased with the outcome. human hands put that motor together to begin with, and i knew you could as good or better in this case, than those people at the factory. now, get that motor broke in and get back to snatching a few big ones! heck, make that a whole bunch of biguns'.

Thanks Bo , I was worried there at first. The first 5 minutes was us trying to get it to go up on plane. I Cut the video down some but you can see what was going on and the when it finally opened up. Only thing that I can think of is there must have been some air in the fuel lines still ? Either way it worked out great and gonna head home in a little bit and look it over real good for fuel leaks or water but didn't smell anything around the cowling so should be ok.
Funny thing that happened is we passed a boat coming at us once we got it running and we started hitting their wake , somehow or another we splashed down in the wake and a couple of what she said were fish popped up out of the water on the port side and one of them hit Tammy in the chest and she started freaking out lol. I caught the fish (I think) coming out of the water on video but not her reaction, but it was priceless ! We ran about 7-8 gallons out of it !

Looks and sounds awesome. You probably just needed to clear its throat at first from all of that 2 stroke you rubbed the cylinder walls with. I had the same problem when I went from oil in the gas to oil injection and had to burn off all that mixed gas.
