Bob, don't laugh about popping the clutch. I used to start my old 1GM Yanmar with a hand crank.
Back in the day, I occasionally found myself with 2 dead batteries and nothing to get the engine going. We'd simply pull out the hand crank, decompress the cylinder, spin it around and then release. Worked like a charm... Not so much on my Perkins 4-236 though. On 12/4/12, Bob Moriarty <bobmo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Danny, > The good ol' Atomic 4.
