How do you guys use the toaster in the morning without hurting yourselves? 1) A compression-driven pump that replaces the spark plug has two chambers. The fuel-air mix goes out the bike's exhaust port; only fresh air goes into the tire. 2) When you take out the spark plug and screw in the pump, put the plug wire back on the spark plug and ground the body of the plug (e.g., by laying on the cylinder head). This gives all those kilovolts somewhere to go, as usual. 3) Don't turn off the gas, etc.; just run the engine! This is much easier on the battery. If you have an electric-start single, turn off the kill switch and you don't have to worry about the ignition components. Harvey S. Cohen "Stupidity got us into this mess.
