Attached is an article from a back issue of "Skinned Knuckles Magazine". Jim Yergin made a copy and sent it to me.

Tks Jim.

It found it very interesting so I thought that it was worth posting.

Enjoy...

One of these days when I feel brave enough, I am going to try and use the crank.......just for grins!

Dave,

Be careful.., it's too early in the driving season for any casualties. Try it with a hot engine first. It should be easier to start.

Good luck... Chet...

Good luck!

The only time I use the hand crank is when adjusting the valves - it is very helpfull for that. I would rather push start the car than risk braking an arm hand cranking it.
