| X7655 Extract from report of GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} France. on 18.EX. 18.12.28. The starter motor is almost useless. Will you please send a weaker spring for the pinion and a stronger spring for the return of the armature, the idea being to let the pinion spring back after it hits a tooth full on or partially, and a stronger spring to make sure of the return of the armature after releasing the push button. | ||
