Default Re: Hard time starting with electric starter, easy with crank

Dalton and Seth, I have hand-cranked a few four cylinder tractors/model A's etc. but never a V8 engine in my 77 plus years. But I've been told that a V8 is easier to crank start than a 4, considering that it has smaller pistons/cylinders to overcome the compression on. Four cylinders do usually have larger flywheels, tho. so that would be a little different, since one would be sort of depending on the flywheel effect to assist in the starting. You are quite the man, tho like Seth said.
