Another point is, that it sometimes happens
in starting, that the engine gives a few, and
frequently only one explosion, without getting away.
One explosion is sufficient to throw the starter system
over on to the hold-off coil, which means that the
motor cannot be used continuously to get the engine
started when carburation circumstances are not at the best.

For these reasons there has been suggested
a switch in the teazer circuit operated by the oil relay
system, or otherwise centrifugally operated.
