You are only partially correct. We can work as many hours as we want. Just not allowed to drive after 14 hours working time. You do not differentiate between WORKING hours and DRIVING hours.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
