Thank you very much,Mike. Coming from you, that's a rare ,singular honor. It sort of was like Easter-that monster coming to life after what? 45 years or so. I'm confident that the timing is pretty close. I'm working on dialing in the carb, but that seems pretty close too. My wife came running out to the garage and told me turn it off-everything in the house was shaking. Ear protection is definitely mandatory. I gotta find a place that sells nitro around here.

What we're talking about is a vintage Burkhardt stroker that I got running for the first time today.
12-1 pistons
4 5/8" S&S stroker flywheels
Sifton 205s
Dual plug heads w/ compression releases
Kibblewhite springs and alloy collars
R intake valves
61" HD barrels
Burkhardt trap door
Morris Front mounted X5 magneto
Ace Knee and ankle braces

I forget anything Mike?

Thanks again. I guess I'm not as old as I thought.

The site says the file is too big. It’s just a picture on my phone. How can I post it?

I had a little trouble figuring it out also. If there is a way to do it on a phone I couldn’t figure it out. I sent it to my email and my iPhone asked what size to send it and I selected the smallest size. Then go on your computer and save it from your email to your computer. Then I followed the instructions on this forum that I found by searching “how to post photos”. I don’t know if this helps.

OK - how did you set up the compression releases if the heads are dual plugged ?
Looking at doing this myself as I'm running 15 to 1 on Methanol and it gives the starter (rollers) a bit of grief.
(Aren't they Ame guards ?)

The heads are dual plug, but I used one hole in each for the releases.

Ok. I thought you were running the MSF units from Morris. I'm running mine dual plugged, single fire. The dual fir does help these engines a lot.
