[SEL] Novo Rollr and Maytag 72

[Richard Strobel]

I hear ya there, Peter.  If my friend had not mentioned it, I'd never have 
known.  He did put his shoe against the flywheel tho...no power at all..to 
speak of.

  I'd brought up the subject of how to turn one off.  If one were to close 
the air way down to kill, wouldn't he be asking for fouled plugs?  Friend 
wanted to know that.

  Rick in fairly nice Mt.
