Started the ol' girl up today! Purrin' like the big cat she is!

(Oh and the loud clanks are my little ones hitting my boat cover tripod with wrenches. It's not from the engine! :D)

I'd be worried if it was running on more Red! ::)

Ugh, too busy with an Autism walk scheduled already. Wish I could join you guys. I want to get her out on the water before hauling down to Rathburn just in case I have any issues beyond idling and reving a bit in the driveway!

Maybe next weekend?

I am in the same position you are Josh, trying to find the time to take the boat to the lake for a test run before pulling it to Iowa.

I'm heading up to Iowa 2 weeks from today and Hot Knots is at a dealership getting new bellows.  I hope to get her in the water before then also.

The way it looks ... I'm gonna be the same.  Murphy's law says I'll bust my a** getting all this re-build done and my motor won't start.
Maybe I can beg off a group tune-up Friday night/Saturday morning if she'll fire.

Dan, you can count me in if you need the help. I always pack a full four drawer tool chest when I go on vacation. You never know when your going to need them! ;D

Based on how the Red Wing meets go I think that tool chest will be well used and greatly appreciated!  ;D
