I got spanked on another board about WD-40. It seems the real meaning of the 40 is it was the 40th test formula they ended up using ........ :roll:

And I heard that WD was for War Department, nothing to do with Rockets.

Thanks for the comments guys. Ive now re- fitted the motor, stuck some 20:1 premix in the tank and wired the oil pump fully open, Half a dozen prods on the kickstarter (by hand) and she was away....straight to 6000rpm!! I shut it down with the kill switch pronto! I knew I should have took more time routing those throttle cables

anyway no harm done thanks to the pre-mix and the Microns sounded lovely!!!!

Big THANKS to everyone thats helped with parts and advice so far as I couldnt have got this far without you

Next, I'm going to start on the frame and suspension as soon as funds allow. Will post some more pics soon...Dave.
