user3977 good ole buddy - If I am still at that point by the time I have to evac I should just put myself under the guillotine..... but seriously if I still haven't finished everything I need to finish then I will come up there pending whatever my parents decide to do on the evac.

BTW - I was hoping you'd see this thread.
HEY da rest a U's ! Thanks for the feedback !
I had a thought about the coil idea. What if instead of removing them I just cranked it once or twice and immediately (within a second or two) turned it off? Then on the third key turn let it run? Does that sound just as safe as the "remove the coil" idea? or no?
Thanks for the compliments on the story. LOL - I had fun making it and its great to see people still get enjoyment out of it and perhaps learn a few things too.
