for

> V-12, gasoline fuel. The parts we do not have are apparently called a
> "ground-hop kit", basically a way to start the engine outside of the
> chassis. Since we do not have a spare M48 or similar laying around, I was
> wondering if anyone on the list could suggest...

> a: where to find a ground-hop kit?
> b: how to kludge one up from truck or construction equipment parts?

> Letters and e-mails to the original seller have so far gone unanswered,
the

a

Magazine
> does not have one, so here I am. Any and all advice and help is
appreciated.
