I don't fancy the idea of "cooking" my new motor - interesting idea though! I have 5 washers fitted right now. I'd fit another, but I don't have any more as the washers are a different size to the dozens I have for the V-6

I've had in excess of 50 glow and diesel engines over the years, but I never had one I couldn't start - 'til now!

The only "good thing" about my failure to get the motor running is the weather . . . . it's cold and raining so I wouldn't be able to fly even if it burst into life
