No worries, should have it running tomorrow Arvo, Should I put some oil in distributor hole or grease on the distributor gear being a fresh motor? I have not filled the motor all the way yet with oil :hmm:

When the piston comes up to the top of it's stroke, you will feel is push up against your finger while you have it in the plug hole.
Ah ha you will feel the air blow? :!:
