Ok, so how bad did I mess up? My 149 has a starter/generator with two flaps, one at each end. I noticed after running it that my s/g would get really hot. None of my other cubs s/g's have these flaps so they were new to me. So I asked a guy who had an older cub what the flaps were for and he said that I needed to put oil in them, so I poured some oil in them. My cub started for about 3 seconds and then would not turn over at all. The lights work on it, but it won't even crank over once. So, how bad did I mess up and how can I fix it---if that is even possible!!! Thanks in advance for your time and expertise in letting me know how naive I am and after calming yourself down from laughing so much

, letting me know how to resolve this problem.
