The electronic clocks have a pendulum - if things have got a bit stiff in there, connecting a bit more voltage (ie charged second battery with the other engine running) probably gave it enough to get it moving enough for the thing to swing - a bit like helping a kid to get started on a swing. Try a bit of regular rocking on the gutter one side - see if you can get that pendulum swinging enough to start! I wonder if some of those dead electronic clocks would work with an extra AA battery put between the +12V and the clock +, just to give them a fraction more kick. Dave.
