BETTER, one of the kids wet tongue! :-)
(Psst, they still remember that little lesson in life)
My dad was always messing around with old single cylinder petrol
engines, trying to make them work. I used to help him.
My main task was to hold onto the bare plug lead wire while he cranked
the engine over - to see if it was generating power!
I remember that lesson very well - I only did it once!
It - the lesson - came in very handy when I was a Honda Motorcycle
mechanic (and also as a Yamaha Outboard Motor Mechanic - they weren't
called engineers back then!) as I knew to avoid the business end of a
plug lead!
I think today's kids are far too molly-coddled! No spark in them. (Ha
ha!) ;-)
You also have to remember to place the thumb on the same side as the (other?)
digits when operating a crank handle. They don't seem to supply these any more.
Crank handles, not thumbs.
Where can I buy a new thumb then?
