When I was a kid i was cranking and cranking on a mower that would not start. It was hot as hell and I was sweating like crazy. Finally I got the damn thing started and I reached down and twisted the throttle wide open to rev the shit out of it, whereupon the spark plug wire jumped off. Not thinking and with one hand grounded on the handle to the mower I reached down and grabbed the plug wire with the other hand to stick it back on, and with my sweaty hands I got the shit shocked out of me until the engine spun down and stopped. Good times

Someone mentioned a magneto, don't just pickup a vertex and spin it while holding it, it will shock the shit out of you.Don't worry about what you can't change.
Do the best you can with what you have.
Be honest, even if it hurts.

When setting the timing, it's important to avoid the ground post and the post in the cap where it transfers the electricity to the rotor, it WILL shock the fuck out of you through the cap. Gloves help, but not much.Last edited by racrguy; 02-15-2015, 09:59 PM.

In high school auto shop it used to be a thing to attach a used condenser to a plug wire, ground the case, and crank the engine, and then leave the condenser lying around for some hapless person to pick up - zap! You only picked one of those up one time before you learned that an unattended condenser = possible land mine
