Hi folks,
First post.
I have some rookie questions about the starting gear on a 1951 TEA-20.
This is type where the starter motor is energised by pushing the gear lever into the "S" position, presumably to ensure you're not in gear when you start it. There is currently no battery fitted so I have a multimeter on the starter terminals to check the switch.
Questions:
1. The lever stays in the start position when I release it. Is that how it should be? I expected it to spring back out.
2. Is there anything that stops the starter being engaged when the engine is running?
Thanks,
Ian
