Fired it up today!!!!

[Franco]

Well after more than a year, figuring moving it from Vtiginia to Florida, I replaced the batteries, dropped 20 gallons of fresh fuel in the empty tank, hooked up the water hose and fired that puppy up!!!!! Fired the first times and it purrrrrrrrred like a kitten after it warmed a few minutes. Ran it for 30 minutes, 40lbs oil pressure, 170 degrees, charging 13.5 volts, no leaks, knocks or odd noises. Looks like i gotta replace the raw water supply hose to the pump, hose cake loose from it's bracket and rubbed the belt. Shift cable is very sticky, but they are reasonably priced. I'll be trolling for sails in a bad a-s-s V20 this fall!!!!!
