Good evening everyone,
Well we are oh so close but just couldn't muster up the energy to get it all sorted out today~ Oh and apologies in advance for todays videos - thankfully I'm better at putting cars together then I am at making videos
Quick video with no interesting content - had to do it -

So as I noted in my previous quickie post, she did start today, but only briefly (as you will see in the videos). I totally expected it to make noise when I first attempted to start it, just wasn't sure it would be so many!!!
START ATTEMPT #1 -

Sooo as you can see - horrible noises
Initial priming of the motor without the fuel/spark hooked up I could definitely tell that the starter was going to be an issue as you could hear it hitting and hard stopping. I actually knew this as I was putting it in but was hoping for the best, just not enough clearance between the starter gear and the flywheel... So much for buying all of the recommended parts
So a bit of shimming trickery and BANG, starter fixed. Time for attempt #2!
START ATTEMPT #2 -

Sooo as you can see - more horrible noises - DOH!
So we sorted out the horrible starter noise issue only to find more horrible noises! This time it is the belts... I knew they were not entirely inline but the Renegade brackets give you precisely dick for adjustment so modifications need to be made to get everything to line up properly. As much as I wanted to I just ran out of steam for the day and couldn't get it sorted out.
In the immortal voice of Yoda - Close we are. Rush it, we will not.
Tomorrow we start fresh!!
