Completed the "relay buzz box" today, and after quite a bit of monkeying, got the Gray U to stay running. Anything other than an idle, sent the engine bouncing violently. I played with the timing some to find a happy spot where it didn't bounce too bad. The engine seem to heat up fairly quick, as it was making hot water in it's seven minute run. My coolant tank isn't very big, and I may have been running it too retarded. It probably would have kept running, but I was "tweaking", and lost it. I will have to "re-think" my engine mount / work bench before I run it again..... my 130 anvil din't seem to hold the workbench on the ground very well, lol. Thanks to all, for all the tips getting "this far".
