<< On my 17 there is a short flat metal strap about 3/4" wide and 4"
long going from the crankcase to the frame. It's located just below the
right rear motor mount. It appears to be original. >>
What do you reckon it's made of? Is it stiff or flexable?
I put some lacquer thinner in the gearbox to flush it and found that the
starter works fine even with no ground strap. I guess the bolts do the job.
Even so, I'll be wanting to make a proper ground, just to make sure.
