Thanks for picking up on my goof. I must have gotten lost in the late night fog. In bed, I realised that I had drifted off on a Bendix tangent and had overlooked the MB solenoid activated starter. Much apology. I knew an alert MBhead would catch me. Too many cars-too many decades.The lube idea still stands, however, and I hope the jist of the entry got through. ( I also remember the hand crank and the sore arm if the spark was advanced too far.) This is a great forum -just referred by my son-great folks with an apparent sincere desire to contribute and, hopefully, to forgive a geezer wrench-head. Congratulations. Have a great New Year
