Good comment, Jim. All joking aside, the baffles must be there to help keep
the tube free of road splash, and thus the starter drain clean. What
puzzles me as I think about it is how the starter would ever accumulate
water in the first place. The tube as a breather makes more sense but even
that makes me scratch my head (not sure I've ever seen a starter configured
w/ a breather). Any thoughts on this?
