The Valach 60s bench running has continued for 3 tanks now with run times of 30 min. each. Very easy to start as long as you choke it first and then it takes only a couple flips to get it going. On the 3rd tank the engine was showing to be a little rich at idle so I eased in the low speed needle and things really smoothed up. Throttle transition has stayed very smooth and the engine is improving a little each run. The real test will come when I get it into the air but so far I am very pleased with this Beast. No leaks or seeping anywhere. More to come. JIM
