Default RE: Startup Questions, Gas CAT

Thanks John,

I dug around in the garage and found some old drip line parts to hook up water. The water jacket over the cylinder was leaking around the base and mounting bolts. Fixed it with some o-ring grease. Put some thread sealer on a few other fittings and Zip-tied the hoses. With the water running I was able to adjust the throttle so that it idles good and reverse kills the motor. Then I went over it and tightened a lot of loose hardware. Once I get a fail safe I should be ready to go.
