Hi John,

I certainly had oil in the engine as it would pour out the exhaust
ports when turning by hand.  I didn't notice any large cloud of smoke
although at the time I was just trying to figure out how to shut it
down.  I had it WOT when it started. :(  The video is really the second
start.  My camera failed to record anything for the first one.

> Bob;  The video came through great.  The only thing I didn't see was all the smoke every one was referring to on the first start up.  I was under the impression that the whole neighborhood would disappear.  Mine is full of MM oil, so it could be a real polluter.  JohnD
