Thank's for your reply,I didn't mean to come on with strong language.
I just wanted to know , if all that work was for nothing.
Most of the stuff I found laying around in the garage,probably less
than 5 buck's material. It's cheaper than buying one.
Anyway the engine is going on an Aresti. Engine inverted.
What problem's do you expect I will have starting an OS inverted engine ?
The biggest problems I have found with an inverted engine are:
1. Getting the fuel tank properly set for the carb. The tank needs to be lined up with the center (spray bar ) of the carb. An inverted engine almost always has the fuel tank too high.
2. I STRONGLY suggest a remote glow starter. I get "very nervous" sticking my hand under a running engine to remove the glow starter.
3. With the engine inverted, the glo plug tends to get (and stay ) wetter than with the engine upright or sideways. You will probably need to use the power panel for the glow ignitor. You can crank the voltage up to around 3 volts if needed to keep the plug hot, where the "hot shots" are only 1.2 volts.
