Oh my, tried to pursuade it to start for a quick flight last night. Managed to get the right engine running pretty much straightforward, than struggled with the left one. At some point I noticed the right engine fouling up, so I increased rpms to over 1000. Well, right engine ran hot and I had to shut it down again by pulling the mixture. That's when I noticed I never moved it away from ICO for the left engine. Feeling pretty dumb, I primed the left engine and it immediately started. Than the problems reversed and I think I overprimed the right engine producing a friction lock and destroying it (the clipboard told me it was gone for good). By that time it was 3 AM and I decided to head to bed.
Some would be frustrated and angry at that thing, but I immediately started loving it due to the fact that it did beat me. Will try again tonight.
