Go for main engine start . . . Houston we have liftoff!

Ok, I'm worse than a little kid. I got burned pretty bad this spring on a "running" waverunner. I spent a month+ on making it pretty and then got it to the lake and it wouldn't run. I didn't want to have that fiasco again, so I had to do it . . . I had to start the beast up. Guess what? IT RUNS!!!! It's a little pathetic sounding, but it's not adjusted in right and needs some TLC on the carbs, but it runs! I'm so happy. I've got great oil pressure, all the right sounds and no leaks. I had to get out and do the little "I started you up" jig in the driveway . . . my son (Justin) wanted to crawl under a rock. He was hoping no neighbors saw that little show. Heheh! He's not had the elation of something that looks like it should be shoved over into the crusher and have it breathing and firing under it's own power. That's a fun feeling. Now if only the brakes and clutch were done . . . I could at least putter back and forth in the driveway like I did with the Morris Minor. (It was missing the brakes also . . . funny how that happens!)

UPDATE: Now with SOUND! Enjoy! WAV
