WEBER was installed! (The original blog was written on 30th Sep. 2007)

Despite the WEBER was already assembled, I was busy recently and could not find the time.
But today I could manage to find a time and installed the WEBER on the engine!



I also wanted to try the engine start.  But I found that the cam cover was dirty and for some reason I began to remove the cam cover to clean it.  As the result it became dark and I withheld to start the engine at night.


I became very hungry so we enjoyed a barbecue with “Shichirin” for our dinner.
(“Shichirin” is a small portable stove for cooking with charcoal made by clay.)

After drying 1 day , it became like this....
