Re: First Time start
With an electric fuel pump, you can find a sunk float or any leaks before you try to fire it up. But it is a good idea to have a fire extinguishers handy. Fire away. Once you have it running, have a bottle of MMO handy to drizzle into the carb a few times during the first 20 minutes or so. Fresh valves and guides can be a little sticky for a while. It took my rebuild a few hours on the road for the compression to even out between cylinders.
