I owned a 1939 J3 several years back, after it was primed it would start <br />with one pull just about every time. I was on a cross country one fine <br />day and stopped for fuel. It always attracted lots of attention, so <br />there were several people looking at it and asking questions. I got done <br />filling the massive 12 gallon tank said my goodbyes and got back in the <br />cockpit, put on my lap belt and headset. I then realized that I had <br />forgot something really important, I forgot to hand prop the engine to <br />get it started (no electrical system). So there I was with several people <br />looking at me waiting for me to hit the starter and taxi away. So as a <br />cover up, I mumbled something about a dead battery, got back out and <br />started the engine. I may have fooled a few of them, but a couple of the <br />old timers were sure laughing.
