I had a problem re starting the engine – bloody ran out of fuel didn’t it. 😆 😆

So this is what I have on my oil gauge – it is connected on the rear of the engine as described. Do I need more pressure ❓

How quick should the temperature gauge start reading. Engine was only on for 5 mins so hopefully more than that. I even tried out the gears and had the wheels spinning (on the lift) Not so sad now 😀

Yes, with that plug now in the hole (behind feel pump) I now have no oil leaks – it sort of scared me a little last night when oil was spewing everywhere. It looked at first glance to be the sump but of course the oil flowed downwards to the sump area and soaked on that 1 inch of gasket. I was tightening frantically not knowing there was a ¼ inch open hole above.

Doing my final checks before I start pulling it apart again – I think I need to put in that 3 watt charging light that Den suggested, my little LED is pulling much current (very good tip that I have had in my mind since reading that…. thanks)
