The "wasp" or the "sex cylinder” controls the "spark of desire magneto" which causes the “motor with quite feeble cylinders" to run. It draws the "automobiline" from the "reservoir” or tank of "love gasoline". This would equate the desire magneto with the spark plug of a car engine and the reservoir with a petrol tank.
Parentheses indicate direct quotes from Marcel Duchamp's 'Notes for the Large Glass'.
Jarry called it "Perpetual Motion Food", that thing we call desire, amongst other names ranging from 'abuse' (a variation of Hate) through 'Love', that driver.
It appears that being impaled comes with the description. Marcel describes that helplessness and ecstasy, that ambiguity and exhibitionism which might produce art (great and otherwise, but all being equal). This 'equality' might partially explain Marcel's eschewing of 'taste', implicit in the 'choosing' of 'found objects', or even the stealing of them. They were 'found' as opposed to 'chosen'.
It's quite a conundrum. What's it all about, Alfie?
'Lost' and 'Found' are perhaps equal, and neither of them are 'chosen'.
