Successful Start and Test Drive

What happens here

With the temporary gravity-fed fuel system in place, the team attempts to start the truck one final time. After a few cranks and some persistent efforts, the engine roars to life, billowing white smoke from the exhaust (a common sight for old engines burning off residues). The engine settles into a rough but steady idle. The presenter quickly hops into the driver's seat, despite the lack of functional brakes, and cautiously drives the 'Swamp Donkey' a short distance around the property, demonstrating that the truck can indeed move under its own power. This marks a successful milestone for the project, confirming the engine's functionality despite its numerous other issues.

Goal: Start the engine and move the truck under its own power.
