First off let me say that I am a newbie to the Model A world...and although I hate to ask a stupid question I figure it is probably more stupid to not ask so, here goes one of many to come I am sure. I've been working on my A and am just now getting to the point of attempting to start her up.

Question; Is it normal to have the starter engage without the key turned on?

I am going to have to install a new battery (mine drops too low when the load is applied) before I make a real attempt to start her up. Plan on that today.

Always ready for advice. Thanks.
