[SEL] ArrrGGhhh! I'm back after 6 years lurking - re: FMZ gears

[Al Harris]

My recollection is that when the pawl is triggered in the FM-J the 
spring tension "flicks", providing the impetus for the spark.

Maybe I took "flick" to literally. I will use "impulse" in future. :-) 
Unless I feel a different impulse on the day. ;-)

Cheers,
