Well, make sure the motor is fastened down to sumat solid! Header fuel tank connected to the SU's float chamber, direct. 12v car battery fully charged and a "wander" lead with crocodile clip to S/W on coil from battery, other side of coil to distributor. Heavy duty lead from battery to "dab" on to the starter motor terminal,other side of battery(depending on + or - earth) to main engine casting, oh and temp. stiff wire onto choke arm,so you can close choke,and.....off you jolly well go. If you intend more than giving it a 'whirl', rig up a hose water supply,in, and out to drain, should be tickety-boo, good luck!! Morrag
