I've used it to start my neighbor's balky lawnmower when I ran out of ether. I couldn't believe it worked.


It wasn't a hidden secret. It was known since the beginning of time.

If you don't know yet, you can spray WD-40 onto the distributor cap to
dry your high-tension ignition wires if you have a hard time starting
your car after driving on wet roads.





And if you spray it UNDER the cap, or inside the cap and don't let it
air oput a bit before replacing the cap, it will blow the cap right
off (often in pieces)


Don't you wish to use "DAMHIKT", clare?

Yup - I'll admit to learning that "the easy way" when I was an
apprentice at 16 years of age. Had a wet cap on a 327 Sprayed WD40
into the little slide-up window - let it sit for a few minutes, then
cranked it over. Not sure I'de have been able to find the parts of the
cap if it weren't for the coil wires - - - .

Doing something stupid first hand IS the easy way to learn - you never
forget - - - -


I guess that's true for some things, but...
