New! Longer Video: Second Flathead Start!

So, if this embed video thing works correctly, below you'll see what actually preceded the video I posted on Friday: the Second start for the flathead.



What actually happened on Friday was that I added the condenser to the distributor, and just bumped the motor over while grounding one of the plug wires to the head, to see if I was getting a stronger spark - and she coughed!

I was surprised, but topped off the gas tank, choked the carb, and kicked her over again, and she fired! So, the first start was not recorded because I was too dumbfounded to believe she'd start. Once I returned to my senses, and returned with a fire extinguisher (just in case!) I filmed the second start. BUT, that video was too long to email to my photo hosting site, so I shot the third start in MMS-friendly format, and posted it soon thereafter.

Now you have "the rest of the story."
