Bingo! I tore the cover off and it stared me right in the face....DOH!!!!
The starter gear had slipped just enough to F me up. Took it apart, repositioned, replaced the cover, hit sterter button and...click/whirr....click/whirr...click/VROOOOOOOOOOM she went on the third tap of the button (no gas for a few months, can't help that.) Shut her down after about a 5 second idle test. Tapped button again for about 1/2 second, VROOOOM instantly.
You should have seen Matt. There was a visible raise in his trousers and he started drooling and scheming on how to skip out of work the rest of the day. Problem being: the shop we did the work in IS his work and his boss is upfront waiting for him top come back. And...there is no way he didn't hear the wide open headers when that baby fired up. No way.
Ahhh, the sweet smell of exhasut in a closed space is a wonderful thing.
It's alive, it's alive I tell you!
beer thirty...gotta go get the daughters, have a brew, then have a few more in celebration.
Ah, the MC Gods have smiled today upon me.
