If my wife Deb is with me, I let her handle the choke and ignition . Deb doesn't like to do the hand crank. She says that it wouldn't look good and wouldn't be lady like . I'm pretty sure that back in the day that women would hand crank the model A in an emergency . Its really not a feat of strength . If the timing is correctly set and a person knows what they are doing it only takes a slight up lift of the hand crank .
