This is one of a series of videos I had prepared for the buyer of my car which was sold many years ago. They are crude with no editing and if the purpose of posting them on YouTube is to help future enthusiasts.

Two mistakes! First I neglected to have the choke engaged and second, I forgot to turn on the ignition key! Yes, the car will crank with the ignition off as the starter is engaged via the foot switch located above the accelerator pedal.

PLEASE pardon the corrosion on the battery terminals. I had not inspected the terminals nor had I applied a corrosion inhibitor and should have inspected and cleaned them prior to recording the video.
