I had been waiting all week until my son was off work so that he could be there for the 1st crank of the 400 tonight. It fired off with no problems but wouldn't stay running due to a carburator leak - possibly at the base. I didn't really get into troubleshooting.
It was lopey and strong. It was also very loud as the Hedmans are the only exhaust on it. I didn't tick off any neighbors. I actually had one walk up and introduce himself. He's a mechanic too...lol. He could here it loping all the way down the street. I had power steering fluid spewing out from a bad hose that I repaired. A brake line was leaky.
Despite the problems, it was great to finally hear her run.
