Sonex #813 First start
by tonyr » Sat Aug 09, 2014 9:38 pm
Hi Guys,
Fired up the 2200 Jab on Sonex 813 for the first time on Saturday 9 August.
Evidence here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yWQfZOUeZk
Took a few goes as the throttle wasnt open enough. Ran it at 1200 to 1500 rpm for about 5 minutes.
Was late in the day and my helper had to leave so we put it away.
A check of the engine revealed a small leak from the OCA but that was about all.
Over 8 years on and off to this point, not much longer now!
Cheers
Tony

Tony,
As I am here in the throes of replacing a hockey stick, it brings me motivation and hope. Thanks!

That's awesome Tony!
Hope to get to that point as well in the not too distant future (hopefully).
