      That is how you're supposed to jack it.

      Up and down.

              First startup of 2015

              Here is the first startup of the year. All went well except I have a new chirping from something on the front accessories. Smoothed out quickly to 600-700 RPM.

              Audio isn't the best. Must have some auto volume adjustment for recording that makes everything sound loud. In reality one of the loudest things is the carb hiss. You can still hear the intake from behind the car. You can also hear the warning chime come on before starting the engine. It's the look at the oil pressure dumb ass because you don't have any warning.
