Howdy

Bought myself a unfinished project T5 1991, previous owner has had engine rebuilt at rayspeed, and a stack of new parts etc but never managed to get it going.

I'm going to start with the basics, pulled plug out tonight and it had a spark, not sure if it's strong/ normal amount.

Quick inspection of the jets were
120 main and 116 pilot?

Sito plus exhaust and everything else is standard apparently

Doesn't even try to fire so need to go through carefully at possible problems

Cheers Matt

I'm going to keep the auto lube if possible
