Hi Alistair and others,


I’m trying to get the pics or even a video from Dennis but he is only wanting especially neat and orderly pics of his work out there.  So, I’ll send along ASAP!


I really enjoy hearing about the success and challenges Dennis worked through to get to this point.


Example, first attempt to start didn’t work, one of the main reasons?  A faulty fuse in an otherwise correctly installed new component.


It must be so challenging to do so much detailed work and then have an obstacle like that get in the way!


But, it is either electrons, fuel, or air.  Dennis found the electron block and now it is running. 


Once tidied up and timing set I’m sure I’ll get a video to share.


Eric
