Stalling was a lot more likely to happen, at least before computer
controlled autos came along, when the engine was just started and still cold; but cold (and perhaps misadjusted) engines were also prone to stumble, sputter, and quit on their own (while the driver pushed and yanked on the choke knob) without any load applied, just out of orneriness. Right. And that's what I meant by a stall. (It still does happen, though without the choke knob dance.) The engine stalled, Ma! Of course it did. Webster's Collegiate Dictionary 10th Edition agrees. all the best -- Dan Ford email: see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com |
