Looks great Steve!

One thought for a first timer doing this,,, 
     "be sure the screwdriver is straight in-line with the cylinder when pressing the starter button".
      If the screwdriver is at an angle,,,, could cause a problem.

To be sure mine is straight,  I beat the porcelin out of an old sparkplug and removed the ground electrode.
Then I screw the remaining metal sparkplug body into the hole and use the inside of the sparkplug as a guide.

Ride safe, Ted

Just for clarification, as mentioned in the hydrolock rod test sticky, Ted Adcock was the first I know if to have the idea of making a depth gauge to check the rods for length. I'm merley passing it along... Steve

Wow!  You sure you don't want to buy a C14 and put out some videos?  Excellent subject by the way.  :thumbs: :goodpost:
