In looking at my photos again, and from what I observed in the garage,
the starter relay must be activated manually by the magneto advance lever,
as there’s no electric coil to plunge the relay “closed in”…… just a coil
spring to return the contactor “open”.
There seems to be no tension on the mag lever to hold the advance lever
in a particular spot, but maybe there’s some device on the mag plate
that needs attention.
I thought perhaps the operation decal atop the gas tank would give some
clues, but alas, it’s not the correct decal, as it mentions winding the
rope around the starter plate. 🙁
Anyone know whose Speedifour this is? I guess it was at Tomahawk a few
years ago.
Lots to learn.
Prepare to be boarded!
