Engine run-up

Removed the starter motor, disassembled it and did a good cleaning.  It's open to the elements and doesn't take long to gum up.
With it cleaned up and installed, I was ready to start the engine.  Now the big test was the magneto kill switch.   Started the engine and threw the main switch off, sure enough the engine stopped right away.  It worked!  I'm very glad, really didn't have a plan "B".  So now the focus is on Mosport in June, just about 4 weeks away.
