Who's got the scoop on starting with a handcrank? Key turned on, in neutral (yes, gas in tank!) can turn crank 180 but no reaction. Maybe I need to work out more? Starter works fine, just want to try it for "s*#ts and giggles"
Try getting the motor to TDC #1, it should only take 1/4 trun. I found it difficult with cold engine and old distributor. Be CAREFUL, it will kick back if the crank gets even hung up a little!! I've had that happen and almost ended up in the ER!
