Thought you guys would want to see a video of me starting the grey motor in the FE im wrecking, its been sitting idle for at least 25 years, all it needed was a coil and leads from my FC and some "start you bastard" down the carby..

Nice videos, great sound.  I wouldn't think you'd have too much problem selling that one.

Thanks for showing us.
