Yes, since everything I have is aftermarket from the block to the tubes, dipstick and pan, I just don't trust the dipstick. I guess that's the whole point of the original question. It's tempting to...

Maybe what I'll do is the next time I change the oil, I'll run a scope up in there and see exactly how far the stick goes...

Yes, I'm using a Baldwin B9. But, by my calculations, it adds about 6 ounces of volume and I added that much oil to compensate. So that shouldn't make any difference.

PM 9510 here also. Works great. No headers. It has 360 deg, "infinite" clocking which I would think should help a lot with headers. RobbMc also has infinite clocking.

I put about 25cc of fuel in the bowl via the vent using a syringe. It took a couple strokes of the throttle to get it to squirt. Fired right up. I like that method better than the prolonged...

Yeah, just wanted avoid the excessive cranking after sitting for so long. I'll just put some fuel in the bowl and fire it up. Thanks.

Best way to start a motor after winter storage

Rather than just cranking it until it gets fuel, is it best to fill the bowl with gas, or just a bit of gas straight into the primaries or use a starting fluid to get it to fire?
