Well, isn't it great, something gets fixed and then suddenly something else
crops up.  Tonight I fired up the engine (2.5 V6 156), and it catches then
cuts out.  I thought maybe I'd let the starter motor kick out too early.
So, try to start it again, and the engine is turning but not catching or
seemingly sparking.  Eventually, got it going with some accelerator pushing,
but now it's nice and noisy in the exhaust department.  Would the exhaust
sound a lot louder and rough if not all cylinders were firing?

Oh, how I hope it's a coincidental hole in the exhaust system...

I can tell it's going to be a motorbike week already...

That can well make it run rough.

Always a silver lining.

At least there are still 5 weeks to Alfa Day to get it running

There sure is!  Heh heh!  It's the intermediate silencer, complete with
hole.  Should be fixed tomorrow, I hope.
