How many 6 cyl owners on here?

Heres my second start (first was off camera and took me by surprise after my initial compression test results). Amazing how well it ran with a coil dangling on some twisted wire and fuel pouring out of the overflow.

That looks like it's ready to go! Maybe clean the needle valve in the carb before the first trip!

It self healed about 30 secs after this video - I did have a cheeky nip down the road after the vid once I had the clutch free and a bit of brake pedal. Can't wait to be hearing that noise every day!

I own two, one in my IIA 1-Ton hardtop, one in my series III 1 Ton cherrypicker, plus a spares engine and a part share in a third 1-Ton series III.

Plenty of videos of the six pot soundtrack on my youtube channel.

Funny that - these videos partially  responsible for ending up with a 6 in the first place! Jesting aside I stumbled on them back in January when I was trying to decide whether to go for this project and they were one of the things that made me go for it.
