It Lives!!!!!!

First run (ok 1st through 4th as I ran it a short time, shut it down, ran it again, shut it down, got my camera out and took some vid (1st half of video) then shut it off, waited a short minuted or two and ran it again (2nd half).  Looks like it's burning off some oil (probably the stuff I used to lube everything prior to assembly as well as maybe some that was in the muffler from me topping it off with oil in my attempt before rebuilding to build up compression to see what happened).

So far so good.  Need to get the B&C back on but need to find that darn spring first!

NOTE:  I did not WOT it at all.  Just a few blips about 1/3rd to 1/2 throttle.  Don't want to do anything stupid yet ;)

My hope is to get it back fully together so I can now test it out on some small stuff and get it hot.  Don't want to just idle it as I can't imagine that's good for it to do for long periods.

Running it on 'True Fuel' premix (all I could find at Lowes when I was there that was in 40:1 -- Husky pre-mix is all 50:1 and I want to run 40:1 for now).
