Gene, both my instructor and I tried to manually start the engine as you described, it was hopeless-and it was up on a workbench giving us much better leverage. I would not bother to even buy the crank.

One?other engine comment - has anyone ever been able to manually crank their engine over? I have tried several times, relieving the compression off the cylinder head,?but the second?I let go of the lever, I am not able to turn the crank at?all. I know I am old, but something seems amiss. Maybe I need to get a "Hulk" out here to try it? ? Gene #35 ?

Thx Mark. ? I cleaned all the grounds - then did the connection harness pin drill - still no luck.?I think I will start next confirming the starter button is actually not broke. Am begiining to wonder how long they last. Has anyone had to change out theirs? ? Gene ?

Mine was doing this and I pulled the panel in the cockpit, undid all of the connections, used pliers to squeeze them back tight and then reinstalled. Worked like a champ for about a year but now it does it again sometimes. Usually only one or two pushes on the button though.
