Listeroid Engines / Re: World’s Stupidest Lister Question!

Thanks HalfNuts!
I will try that bleeding all the way through and see if it helps. It seems that my first cylinder is fueled up fine. I can see a drop of fuel being dispensed from the high pressure line with every click, but that second cylinder is still not giving any love. It is dry so far.
I have read a lot about run away engines. Should I really expect that a brand new motor, even an Indian one, should be horribly broken right out of the crate?
On that note, I am not exactly sure how to stop the engine.
Is it:
1) lift the fuel pump lever
2) slide over the decompression locks
If so, do I wait any amount of time between steps?
How much room should I give around the engine to start it the first time? It is a bit tight in the garage. The engine is mounted to a heavy steel frame, but 650 RPM of 1000 lbs of misbalanced flywheel is probably an ugly thing!
I know I have heard about these, but did your Lister fly away the first time you started it?
Thanks again!
