Engine started!

Bill ( left ) and Rusty
Yesterday afternoon, with the help of my friends Rusty and Bill, we managed to get the engine running. After sucking out the remainder of the old gas ( some had fortunately been stolen recently, so it made the job easier ) adding fresh fuel and a can of Seafoam additive, and changing the fuel filter, she pretty much fired right up. Changing the filter was a real challenge. The old spin-on filter was on so tight that we had to remove the whole filter housing in order get a good enough grip on it. At the end of the day, it was a milestone moment and helps keep the momentum in a forward moving direction.
My sincere thanks to Rusty and Bill!
