Now I've got to figure out who gets the Mickey D's................
I believe that honor goes to Doug s all-tho you might want to make it a steak dinner. That either thing is what got her going.

I'm not sure. The ether may have opened something. The Mighty Vac may have un-stuck something.

All I know is.....Bring on the WASH BUCKET and WARM WEATHER!

I'm supposed to get her warm, let her cool and repeat several times to seat the rings. I'm going to go out and start her again............

I've enjoyed it myself. If I didn't do what i do for a living, I'd want to be a mechanic!

Now, she's starting without touching the enrichener. Another video to follow.

Great you gut her going. I have been following this thread from the beginning, I just didn't have any info that might help you, so I never chimed in. I was cheering for you though. I knew, by watching your videos, that you were not going to give up. And I also knew that there were a few very helpful people on your side. I must say this was a very exciting and drama filled journey, very informative and entertaining.

I have been loosing faith in this forum due to spam and trolls and basic dumb-assery. But, this thread has breathed new life and a scence of kinsmenship into the entire forum. Great job traildog and best wishes to "Bertha".
Outstanding performance from all the guys that contributed and stayed with traildog till the end.

Simply FANTASTIC!

Thanks! I may have been getting frustrated, but I knew my fellow EVO owners wouldn't let me down!

I know what you mean, but, I've learned to ignore that crap.

BTW, in the first video, you can see a red light on the ignition module. In the second video, the red light is on, but, the VOS (green) light comes on too.

I'm not sure why the VOS light wasn't on in the first video, but I'm going to try to find out.
