.. in my case it took approx. 2hrs :) :), due to the fact that I have
virtually no experience as a mechanic/electrician. BUT, after two
hours I turned the key and the beast sprang into life immediately!
Now I do not have only the joy of a better running Spit, but also the
satisfaction of one of my first successful "gearhead" experiences.
