looks good dude, bump it in 2nd gear you will be fine
i was going to do it in 4th to try and keep it calm...?
id say second too.. 4th your gonna need some speed before itll bump..
i used to bump my loon in first... then again i didnt have much room, about 20ft, and only a slight downhill... so, its up to you mate... bet its gonna sound awesome with those carbs
EDIT : or get a starter motor? lol
ill do that then, im just a bit worried cos it'll be the first time its been started since rebuilding it... and cheers novaboi, i cant wait for the noise!! might make not having a car for a month or two and about 800 quid worthwhile! ive got two starter motors, just wont work on the F10 box or the 1300 flywheel... gutted... F13 on its way...!
Was just going to ask why are you bump starting it but i forgot about your flywheel/box troubles, id wait till youve sorted that out and it will start of its own accord as you really want to turn it over without plugs in to get oil round it, or dribble some oil down the bores then turn it over, again with no plugs in it:thumb:
cheers spud, i think im going to leave it, as much as it pains me to not hear it, id much rather not muller it after all that... im just glad i ride too, so ill stick to the bike for a bit longer... in the mean time, im thinking of modifying one of my starter motors, i can see the flywheel through the hole, but the aluminium bit on the starter motor would need adapting to reach it, might be a temporary measure... but it is definitely going to have a starter motor of some description, cheers for the advice about getting the oil pumping round without the plugs in, id probably have overlooked that, and looked an absolute be*lend when it seizes up...!
I was just about to say... DONT BUMP START IT. Your want to make sure the oil is all around it (oil light on dash will go out), then start it. Many engine probs can be caused in the early process.
yeah im definitely going to leave it for a while now lads, patience is a virtue! cant be dealing with another fooked engine...
im loving the look of this some great work there keep the updates coming.
+rep for keeping it small block.
rick
nice one Rick, got to love the small block, no doubt ill do bigger builds in my time, id like to get a workshop like so many of the peeps on here and actually go into business doing road/rally prepping, from 1300s to LETs so theres hundreds of brutal little rally cars caning it round Eastbourne keeping the plod busy...! i should be getting a gearbox relatively soon, so ive got to go through all that again, going to be worth it though...
