Even a car with an alternator needs some little bit of battery power

Hence the little Gel Cell.

It turns out that almost all alternators have a little residual
magnetism and if you just spin them fast enough they will start
generating.

If not you get double your money back. :-)

But does it generate enough current to get the diesel spark needed to
get

Steve, I'm sorry, but I started this thread, so I'm sure someone else
will
take credit for it.



Looking for "credit" for starting a thread? Your life is that pathetic?
How sad.

Actually, I was responding to the nutcases who said I never talk about

you.


You could never be a lawyer. Your responses are dumb at best.

Larry, a few of us have stopped talking to Plume. She seems to have only
you left to mess with. Try clamming up on her and see what happens.
