You know, I don't know.  Maybe one of the LPM gurus or guys like Gary, Sergio or the
Dons who work on them a lot can tell us.  I have heard that they need to be spun
faster since I first got on the list in the early '90s, back in the days of
american.edu.  I know a couple of months ago I tried to push start my black car in
5th gear after a starter failed, and it wouldn't start.  Later, I tried in 3rd, and
it started right up.
