Beautiful work Mark. The Ellison is a sweet match to the Vair. I have ran mine several times since you were here and still very smooth. I have capped my primer ports but have left all hardware to easily re-attach the primer if I deem it necessary this winter. So far, cold starts have been no problem for my Ellison but the temps have been fairly warm out, so that may be an issue when the cold air temps arrive.
