They can be posted from your computer but you may need a few more posts before it will work. The FB site required 15 posts before you can use the private message system and that may affect photo posting but I don't know for certain.

Okay thanks I wasn't aware of how it worked.

I usually get plenty of free starts with my 1909 Model T, but always when the engine is warm after a run and then starting it shortly after. I never heard of a free start after the car was sleeping all Winter, unless you cranked it with the ignition switch off to prime the cylinders and then turned the ignition switch on.

I've had mine hit and spin over a few times but never actually start.

Yes I did prime and turned the key and it started.

Some folks get really good at getting free starts by experimenting with how to set it up. Pull the choke just before the last revolution when you shut it off to charge the cylinder, and play with different throttle and spark positions to see which works best. I've only had a few in my T's but it is quite exciting when it happens !

I also own a 1909 Maxwell. Its a two-cylinder car like yours but the LD model. I am about finished collecting parts on enough to begin the full restoration on it.

Roughly 6 brass-era counting the ones that are inoperable at the moment. I did not show pix of a faux 1910 Tourabout that I am gathering pieces for, the LD Maxwell that is about to receive its first restoration, and an unidentified friction drive, chain drive vehicle that I 'inherited'.

Then, there are the non brass-era cars such as a few more Ts and a couple of As. Finally, add in a mix of 'family cars' such as '29 Model-A Phaeton that my great, great Aunt & Uncle purchased new on their honeymoon, a '49 Chrysler Windsor that my late FiL 'courted' my MiL in, a '54 Hudson Hornet that my grandpa purchased new, a 1979 Chevrolet M/C that was the last car my grandmother had, ...and as you can see I have too many old cars.
