This is the 1st time i have ran the engine.

Hi all..

tried to start the v8 up for the 1st time today, was a struggle...

eventually fired up but ran reallt bad (shaking) and puffs out of the carbs now and then.

seems like it is misfiring but i have checked all the leads and timing etc and all is well.

any ideas please?

replaced the worn oil pump gears in my 3.5RV8, question is do i just put it back togetgher and prime it or is there a way of doing it?

cheers
