    Well, she runs!!  Started on the 5th pull.  Obviously, I had the cylinders good and lubed up!!  Pumped water real good and head and exhaust were cool to the touch after about 5 minutes of running.  Seems to idle good, naturally needs some fine tuning on the boat.  Hopefully I can hit the lake this weekend for a real test.  Thanks to everyone for their help and advice on this one!!
