ATTENTION:
Several weeks ago when Les Davenport and Bob Harris came to Treit's shop to work on the 'liner
one of the goals was to start and run the engines. The ignition and fuel systems had to be connected.
Many other small tasks that were not part of Hume's build were taken care of.
Then it happened.
Les announced that the engines would be started on Propane and then switched over to run on alky.
After the initial shock wore off the Propane bottle was attached, the alky was plumbed in and the starter
whirred. It fired immediately the switch over was made and the engine ran somewhat above an idle.
The second engine received the same treatment and another step in the life of Target550 had been accomplished.
So Ray Therat has taken the video that Bob Harris filmed with his i-Pad and made two short movies.
They are on U-Tube.
Here is the url:

Thanks Bob Harris and Ray Therat.
