[Osage Orange]

I often would start my '29 coupe with the crank, but needed to make two modifications: A clothespin to hold the rod back for a couple of pulls on the crank; and a wire running from the choke through just beneath the radiator to where the crank was so I could re-open the choke without having to get back into the car and remove the clothespin. Worked every time. Crank starting always impressed the ladies in the college parking lot.
