I went flying with a friend. He had one of those planetary gear reducer starters I think it came from Hobby Lobby? It was older and the wire insulation had gotten bad so not being any good at soldering he had twisted on some lamp cord for a starter wire.

Now this starter was older

He started his plane and flew and then I flew

When he picked up his starter again it burned his hand because the switch had been stuck and the starter had been running for over a half hour hooked to his big boat battery. Burning his hand, he sort of threw the starter when he let go of it. Then the wires where he had the twisted junction shorted and all the insulation started burning on his new lamp cord starter wire.

One thing after another but he finally got the clips off the battery and used my starter the rest of the day.
