Then I popped off the blow off valve and squirt ATF down all six ports. turn it over more. I cranked it backwards as not to hydro-lock the motor. then forwards oh man.. feels great. I'll crank it more tomorrow. Maybe some day soon I get a battery and some fresh fuel for it to burn. I would like to make a video of it running on the ground in my drive way.
A motor can still hydrolock when turning over backwards.....

Sounds like a nice find.
