backydmech Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 today got engine started first time!!!!! WOW! actually started 3 times by priming, First and second time just immediatly quit.. third time ran about 15 seconds then battery to tired to go again..V 12 cetainly has a different sound. Engine just had enough time to smooth out before it died.. SO SMOOTH, I am on right track.. Engine that sit at least ten years not froze up. tough old flat heads ant they.. with any luck another LZ Connie will hit the road. Have put about three gallons gas in tank. Will start a few more times priming then check for gas from fuel pump at carb..Read here where the v12 turns over slow that amazed me also, it started while turning so slowly... it was like the old 50 flat head I had (first car) starting just before the battery quit.. but the engine sounds so different turning over and running..
