Default Re: Crank Starting

I successfully hand cranked in the mid 20 degrees (F). Choke it with the key off for a couple yanks and and have the throttle open a few clicks so that when it starts, it will be at a fast idle. Spark advance fully retarded. Have the GAV opened a bit more than you would normally have. Turn the key on and go for it. As others have said, don't grab with your thumb all the way around.
