You're probably right about the scare tactic, but once they were in the vein, might as well get another quart of O positive. :-) As for the B&C starter, along with being light-weight, B&C states: "...requires no recurrent mantenance during the service life of the starter. At 1800hrs time in service it is suggested that the starter be returned to the factory for evaluation of overhaul if necessary" I hope that is not just marketing and it is as reliable as they make it sound. --mitch ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 7:37 PM Subject: Re: [COUPERS-FLYIN] Mitch ? about push button type starter > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- > > > In a message dated 6/19/02 6:43:14 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > It was > > explained to me that the old pull type starter in some ways was > contributing > > to the problem.
