[Spridgets] Truck start - no LBC

[Lester Ewing]

Just a data point here..  On the two stroke SAABs I had that same problem one
time.  It wasn't the starter spray, it was the fuel that had built up in the
crankcase from trying to get it to start.  Once the timing got right off it
went.  I killed the ignition, then I ripped (Yes ripped) the plug wires away,
then covered all three barrels with my gloved hands.  All that I could think
of was that it was my new go-fast engine and it was about to blow up.

.. and I had disability insurance...
