I pushed the 26 RPU in the shop a couple weeks ago to do all the normal lube and adjustments. Oil change adjust Rockies and bands if needed. Fix a small gas leak at the shut off ect.. well Sunday I finally got to spend the day in the shop. I was amazed at how much debree was in the screen in the tank shut off. Not rust but lint, bugs ect... it was 1/2 full.
Now the Joe Bell engine has always been an easy starter and Scott's full flow valve is awesome. After going over everything I decided it was time to fire it up for the first time since September. It started and ran like a dream with the 1st pull on the crank after two priming pulls of course.
Spring is here.

You literally got all the bugs out. 
It's always fun to hear them roar to life after a long slumber.
