I don't have a video to post, but other than me forgetting turn on the mags the first time I started cranking, it went great. Lit right off, Chugged the undrainable dregs of preservative oil and then smoothed right out. The idle was set right, oil pressure was good, mag check and prop cycle were good, I even got a 50 rpm rise when I killed it with the mixture.
I have to say that I was expecting more fiddling to get this right, but it's darn good right out of the box.
The icing on the cake was the post run compression test where I saw 2 out of 4 cylinders with honest to goodness 80/80 compression.
