OK, all you motor-heads.... How many of you know how (that is....the proper sequence...) to START this thing? (The A-Model! Not the young-model!)

Retard the spark....set the throttle....If it has a 6 volt starter whearl it around until the engine catches then, advance the spark.....slowly...( I think there is something else in there.....but it has been a long time)......Brad

I'd start with flowers, a nice meal and some liquor

Your picture brightened up a dull November day.
Thanks!

You know, this guy Jim Martin has the right idea.

Most importantly, the cranker must keep the thumb on the same side of the crank as the rest of the fingers. More than one early model starter has been surprised and broken a thumb. Yes there are common sense rules to hand cranking the early autos just as there are for the early airplanes.

That will warm and old boy on a COLD January Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look close right through the driver side window......would that be the mom looking a little p'd off
