    Engine Rev's Very High

    I finally got the 40 started after 2 years of restoring, but as soon as she sparks she races to max RPM. If I play with the choke I can get her to calm down, but to rough to drive. Joe

    Getting Closer

    I'm on the final stretch of my build, and should be ready to turn the engine over in another week (hopefully). The engine (rebuilt) has been sitting idle in the chasis for about a year, should I skirt some oil in each cylinder before turning it over? How much and does it matter what type of oil?
