[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 494756, member: 3278"] [B]Otherwise known as the "Dockbuster"! Mark 78 I believe. That engine had to be in perfect tune to do what the manufacturer wanted it to and we all know how well most customers take care of their "kickers". When shifted, the engine shuts off and when the gear selector in the control box is placed in reverse a switch is closed and the starter on the engine turns in reverse rotation and the engine starts up backwards. This also means that the mag had to be rotated at the same time to pick up timing correctly. Lots of stuff had to happen perfectly every time! A friend of mind has one on an old restored Thompson and that engine runs perfectly.....most of the time. [/B] [/QUOTE]
