Thanks Pete!

Not sure how far out it was and not sure if we're in the right spot now or not.

Couple things.

1) I did the n00b mistake of overfilling the oil. We were letting it idle (high) for a good minute or two and when we killed it, we could hear the oil basically boiling on the left side heat exchanger. I drained the amount of oil I added and I think it's good now, except that now there is excess oil in that heat exchanger and it's smoking and smelly and kinda scary.

2) It's idling high. We will need to start over with that CO screw and dial that in a little bit (thank you for the tips about the injectors squirting). We had adjusted it in the very first day or two of messing with this thing. So it's likely that was an issue for sure. But it's also idling around 2K. We got it close to timed, but once it would settle in on the mark, the idle would surge a little and I was kinda chasing it around. Got it where I think it should be, but also understand that will need to be looked at again.



So right now, feeling on the moon. Obviously, some things to address and dial in here, but it's progress and I'm pretty pumped.
