Yes I did.  Sounds great.  Lovely flutter on that pipe like my old BSA.  Only thing missing was the smell...... I do hope it is either running on R or has a load dolloped in the fuel to get the smell.

Have fun!

Looks and sounds great Jim. Peter knows how to build a decent old four banger so it should go alright too.
