I pushed the 26 RPU in the shop a couple weeks ago to do all the normal lube and adjustments. Oil change adjust Rockies and bands if needed. Fix a small gas leak at the shut off ect.. well Sunday I finally got to spend the day in the shop. I was amazed at how much debree was in the screen in the tank shut off. Not rust but lint, bugs ect... it was 1/2 full.

Now the Joe Bell engine has always been an easy starter and Scott's full flow valve is awesome. After going over everything I decided it was time to fire it up for the first time since September. It started and ran like a dream with the 1st pull on the crank after two priming pulls of course.

You literally got all the bugs out. :) It's always fun to hear them roar to life after a long slumber.
