MGA 1957 parked by where Milkman put the milk in the mornings,( real cold snap).
SAGA starts mid summer. Starter button on dash could be mistaken for a HORN,
Girlfriends ------really rounded the ring gear teeth.
I install a Oil pressure switch --BINGO --- oilpressure ? Button will not work ...
Switshcraft made a nice looking little toggle switch ---UP ? starter is engaged.
down ? was springloaded off ..
MG had a handcrank ---- Oil was slow to bleed off for a new try starting .
About 20 deconds ---that would give me time go to the front and help cranking with handle.
I was standing in front ready to insert handle just as the Milkman got there.
Then the thing started on its own. ------- He looked at me but said nothing.
A small 12 volt NiCad was used to make sure there was lots of spark.Feeding
coil only.
On a cold night I visited Hal Mordys farm for some beer. Steel gets weak when
cold . ----First the Handcrank snapped like glass. Then I was going to take batteries
indside to warm up and charge. The King Dick screwdriver snapped. ---- next ?
The SOFA ---.Was the Lord saving me from driving drunk on slippery
roads back to Ottawa ?----
Now that was top of the line shape Gasser ---- 20 year old Rabbit diesel ?
Sofa job right off the bat-----
Hagar.
