It's alive!
The magic was indeed to use the fuel pump to push through a couple quarts until the smell was much less hideous. Pump only runs 2 seconds at key on, had to cycle it a bit- good exercise for the new ignition cylinder.

Set up the gopro to catch first start, my camera placement seemed interesting in the moment and turned out crappy.
Two, count em, two 20" box fans cleared it quick. It did take some cranking but she started catching and at full throttle cleared her pistons.
Idle is rough but right at spec. Fires up first try and is very throttle responsive.
I think the clutch may be working and I still need to check the brakes over.
I may even vacuum out the rat poop from the floorboards.

One still, with smoke included



A not so good note...
I got it running a couple days back, been spending most of my time lately with Brother, he's loosing ground, I'm going to need the pros help sometime not so far away.
