You know, this jogged my memory. I am pretty sure I had the same issue
when I installed my freshly built engine, my DET, and when we swapped
my old engine into our LeMons car. Anyway, my point being that I had
to do this with even a freshly built engine. Strange. I thought it
very strange at the time - it's something you'd expect with a
carbureted engine.
