The Ford Barn - View Single Post - How to start a '28 Ford Model "A" the "Old-Time Way"

I’ve never tried hand cranking our car cold (I never really thought about that until now), but I usually have to blip the choke when using the electric starter when the car is cold. After the engine is warm, I can hand crank it without choking. Brent is right for our car. A slow crank of about a 1/4 rotation is usually all it takes.

We are blessed. Our car has always started easily.
