[dangeeeeerousss]

there was a bit of black smoke when i started it up i put that down to it being stood the last 6 years

[madmark]

black will be fine ,oil preshure????? what was it????? do you know,its out of a SCIMITA isnt it?????

[dangeeeeerousss]

yeah its out of a scimitar i cant remember what the gauge was reading ill strike it up again tomorrow and find out but it was good

[madmark]

[dangeeeeerousss]
