[Vwdiesel] Dying Glow Plug Relays???

[H . Hagar.]

>From the curmudgeonly old fart:

Man, the more I hear about TDI's, and the long reputation of VW electrics,
the more I love my old A2's.

Everything important is mechanical, which Germans do best.
If I lived in Nepal, I wouldn't even need a battery, just park it at the top
of the mountain before I shut it off.

Hagar could probably gravity-start his bunny going down his driveway.

When I was a kid, my '29 Durant's battery was just enough to supply
ignition, it was either crank it, or park on a hill.

Anybody want a picture of a 29 Durant?

Too bad I can't crank the volks.
(must investigate a compression release like the Listers)

Sandy

Hagar sez :  Sandy ----My  MGA 57  had a crank ----and I was at Hal Mordys place for a
BEER or two ?  ----yes it was so COLD that the handle broke like it was made of
glass----that is when I Hagar wound up sleeping on the sofa.----and yes I did start a
Rabbit going down the driveway here.
Sorry to hear that Hal Mordy died so young ---he sure was one SMOOTH flyboy.

Landrovers ----had a crank ---as had a FORD model T  ----and lots of Bikes had
kick-starters. ---done away with ?   WHY ?  "STUPID"  fits here. I have two Yamaha 650 cc
Twins----and one still has the compression release. ----Much like the LISTER. ----by the
way my Lister say do not use the release to stop engine. -----James Hansen told me why.

What ? is this about ?  ---well hells bells if it does NOT start where are you going
  -----yes the Phone Booth.----or if you are lucky like Hagar ? the Sofa----or better ? EH
? ---JA.----right in the bedroom with that GEORGE'S  blackhead.---- NOT only good in the
bedroom --that woman was some SMART.

------ Now for relays ?   do like Sandy Cameron suggested  ---use an eraser on pins and
then as Hagar suggested --put on LOTS of VASELINE.----and by the way on all Nicads for
cameras and the like do the same thing.  ---SS contacts does oxidize ----even if they look
clean.

Hagar.

PS :   No glow ?  NO GO ----too much glow ?  --NO plugs. ----so get it right.
