Default Re: The Electric Fence

PS: More mag related memories!

Remember those old mini bikes we all had as kids? Briggs 5 HP engines and most had a ground tab ya pushed against the spark plug to kill them? Remember how the crappy throttle cables were always breaking or getting hung? Ever have one with a double tube top frame rail where ya had to reach around from the side and snake yer hand in there to kill the engine because of the clearance between the frame and the engine?

For those of you not already laughing, I was barreling down a pea gravel fire road at about 40mph with a stuck throttle trying to kill the dang motor. The problem was that I kept hitting the damned plug wire and shocking the hell outta myself before finally deciding it would hurt less to simply bail off of that crazy thing as it was apparent that there was going to be a wreck one way or another and there was no use in abusing myself in addition to crashing!
