Survey: type 44 break down frequency : Push start

[james accordino]

Ero, you're a genius!  You just described my next
invention!  A cig. lighter adapter cord with a 9 volt
bat. plug on the other end.  They have 9 volts that
will last 10 yrs. now and I think that that would be
enough to power the essential items required for
start-up.  NOT including cranking!  The battery won't
last long at that draw rate, but who cares.  Maybe
someone will volunteer to test this.  Put a dead bat.
in your car and see if this works with a push start.
