So, The inverse is also correct.
Cold "Shrinks" the heavily carbonized contacts away from each other,just
enough to reduce electrical transmission across the gap between the

I think I am going to take this with a does of Buckminsterfullerines... ( one of the seven allotropes of carbon ) ... I am glad they did not know that carbon acts as an insulater when they put those carbon brushes into your starter.....
