SECRET Starter on a 1906 Racer? Alan Travis w #barryt #sizairenaudin #classiccars

I've seen a wood car on TV before. No floorboard and has a ledge on the left side for brontosaurus ribs.

Early firetrucks had a spring attached to the front of the crankshaft. It was a self winding starter. I believe Mack used them extensively

I would never put electric start on a car like that.. just use it for an excuse to build those muscles,. Don't be a whim

good humor

Did ya try pushing it?❤

Trade it off, get a Hyundai 😂

Ole fly wheels were to. Help torque momentum

you can put a friction starter on it,and never change any part of the design,NEVER CHANGE ANYTHING ON IT,YOU CAN ONLY BE ORIGINAL ONCE

The flywheel keeps the engine going without one the piston would travel to the bottom of the cylinder and stay there but with a fly wheel bolted to the crankshaft when the piston reaches the bottom the flywheel is turning and is heavy enough to keep turning the crank and push the piston back up its whole job is to store kenetic energy then one day someone put teath on it and used it as a big gear for a starter motor to use to turn the engine over

Electric Starters since 1896 on modified Benz. 1st USA patent 1903. DELCO patent 1911.
Broken Bones still occur trying to manually crank vintage engines
