Updated video of Holt engine running.

[gbritnell]

Gentlemen,
Here's a new video of my Holt engine running. Since the original video I added the water pump, fan and fan shroud. I think I have it tuned about as good as it's going to get. The second video clip is the Holt being hand started. It was warmed up a little and then with just a flip of the flywheel it will start up with out power assistance. It will start by hand when it's cold but it's touchy about getting the carb primed. At this point I can move on to my next project. If anyone is building one of these and has any questions please don't hesitate to ask. I have a lot of information to pass along.
