Had one of those milestone events occur Friday Started my engine for the first time. A shot of prime, turn four blades, mag switch set to left and it caught on the first blade. If the Ellison is always this easy to start I will be very happy. The Ellison did not however like the high pressure pump (LW15473) and I'll have to change to the low pressure pump (LW15472). Seems when I bought the pump I was planing on a PS5C and at some point I later decided on the Ellison and forgot which pump I had.

It was still a good day though. New forum member "Pittsaholic" who lives just across town was there for the event to lend a hand and it was our first time to meet.
