Almost Done!
Engine is on, steering cable is hooked up, and the wiring is completed but not tested, because I have no battery yet, but it looks right.
Next step is the 'ol engine in a garbage can test. I haven't done anything to the engine yet. Wanted to try to cold start it first just to see if it works. Any warnings or tips I should know before hand?
Also my tanks are 6 gallon tanks. Can some one help me with the math on proper gas : oil ratio. I believe this engine requires a 50:1. I have concluded that its 15.36 oz. of oil to 6 gallons of gas. Is this correct and if so is it alright to round it up to a pint per tank or should it be exact? Also do I have to take into account the extra pint of oil in the gas tank as far as volume is concerned or has that been considered when they made the tank?
Looking forward to your responses!
