She's alive!
Well, for the first time in 4 months, I actually started the ol' FB.

Good news: The nasty white smoke out the back cleared up after 5 minutes, which is a huge bonus since I had to pour oil through the carb to get the compression up to normal from flooding the **** out of it before.

Even better news: That RB SP exhaust sounds ******* mean.

Best news: It's warm enough here to actually start working on her.

Most of the time it takes very little to get a Rotary started.

Oh, I don't know, probably 1/2 cup or so.

On a side note... I'm wondering if she'll be roadworthy enough to go to Rotary Revolution... That's what, 10 weeks away?
