Starting the engine...

I have put WD40 in the cylinders a few days earlier to free up the rings and I put some motor oil an hour before starting the engine to lubricate the cylinders. I took the compressions, put the plugs in and started the engine. It started right away. On the video this is the second time that the engine started after 20 years of being silent.




I wanted to do a lube job (27 years without moving...), but one nipple was turned towards the inside of the chassis. I had to undo the fender to access and remove the shield.



I used a washer and some red Locktite to get the nipple facing the hole on the shield.


I found a mouse nest in the vent hose; would have been messy getting some fresh air while driving...
