Actually but has been really easy to start, been out a couple of times and started it in 0C
Just 1 long pump on the gas and it starts nicely

Hello now I'm awake
Gonna see if I can fix that, it's a Facebook video from a friend so I can maybe be difficult
Not so much to see, a quick 1.2.3 burn at a traffic stop

How’d you do the stainless trim? I’m in the exact type of project you’re doing. Just a little behind where you’re at! But my Fiberglass has chips along the edge also.

Started on my electric fan conversion this week, bought 2 12" fans with 1350cfm each, have removed all the old stuff now and made a holder for them out of 3mm aluminum, gonna paint it black later on

First try didn't go as I liked..
I cut the holes for the fans wrong didn't think the a-arm would be in the way but it is..
Needed to move the to the right more..




That's were the need to be..



New one made
