Okay, this one is just for fun. I don’t really need to do this in the suburbs with my Series 3…but…I got a hand crank tool from our hosts. It’s been great for things like setting TDC on the engine. But I’m curious how to use it to start my truck without the starter.

What’s the actual procedure? Because I tried it and no dice.

* Ignition key position? I assume ACCY…
* Choke position?
* Crank handle position?
* Kick crank? Step on crank handle? Some leverage(recover ropes on it)???

How do you start this thing with the crank. I’m 6’2 and 250lbs of muscle and I can’t seem to start it. Surely this isn’t just a carnival strong man stunt!? They expect regular people to do it, right?

Post your tactics. I’m curious….
