You´re trying to tell me that you didn´t quite understand what I was saying? Thanks Ernie and Ash!

I just couldn´t have a ready to run bike in my workshop any longer, so while those prancing football players were rehearsing their best theatre acts for the upcoming game I went outside to try to start the bike. I´ll probably watch this clip 15 times before I go to bed with a stupid smile on my face tonight. Not a bad run at all, the temps were a bit high and the throttle responce wasn´t like when it ran as a pure jet so I think the freepower NGV area needs to be opened up a bit. No rubs or anything noticeable so I think the engine is a survivor. The drive chain threw some of its grease off, I´ll probably want to have the rev counter for the power turbine fixed before next start. Big f*cking cheers friends!!! /Anders

Hi Anders
Beautiful :-)
LOL.......you might be surprised how fast that back wheel was spinning when you get the tach installed , interesting to see the wheel "spooling up" with the gas generator .
Yep, the NGV throat area might need a tweak to get temps below 700 C, but a successful first spoolup .............always good to get it done and have the engine survive .
Looking forward to seeing your arse disappearing down the road ;-)
Cheers John

Thanks guys! It was very encouraging the see the rear wheel spinning, now I just have to lower the exhaust temps 100C or so and then it is time to hit the road!

Thanks a lot Ernie, it is by the way your Hobbs switch that saves the engine in case oil pressure disappears.

I took the engine apart last night to fix the air leak. It took only two hours to take the engine out of the frame, remove the casing, assemble the engine and install it in the bike again, not bad! Threw a leg over the bike today, as an extra bonus for you guys I tried my best at speaking english. The temps are still a bit high so I think I will try to figure out a couple of more mods before I take it for a full trottle run, perhaps time to remove the freepower and fit an unrestricted lenght of pipe to the exhaust to see how hot it runs then. Damn! Four and a half year led up to this moment, now it is time to get this baby singing at its highest note at the track! Cheers! /Anders
