Well guy's I'm happy to announce that after 1 years, 6 months, almost to the day, my twin cam vlct finally purred to life (or growled). Video below, we got it all ready to start at the death knock this weekend and luckily she came through for us. Points to note before any comments are made: - yes we had to short the starter motor to fire it up, I haven't hooked up neutral start and ignition because we still have a B&M to put in - yes i can see the smoke - no there is no radiator cap or overflow hooked up, we really only just wanted to see if it would go before the night was through. It sounds like an animal with the cams, granted there is no exhaust hooked up but... Enjoy! YouTube Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T8Bbl_iUMk)

exhaust and shifter is in, just gotta finish the interior and minor elec stuff. drove it round the block yesterday - incomplete spec. sounds like nothing i have ever heard, not sure how to describe it, sounds kind of confused lol. run in tune next week the 910cc injectors were hard to get the base map running nicely, fouled 3 sets of plugs. it shoots a constant flame out the exhaust ..
