<< Thanks for reminding me on that one, Brad. I got a starter handle and
original jack & jack handle with my 3A parts car I bought last year. My own
starter had been acting up before I put the car away for the winter (likely
new brushes req'd), but in the interim I thought I'd just use the handle to
start the car. Does anyone have some experiences using one of these items on
their own car, or are these things more decoration than anything? Can the
car get started fairly easily, or am I likely to separate my shoulder first?
TIA, >>
I've started cars with these before. Helps a lot if they're already warm.
Couldn't do it from cold. You can only get about a half turn at a shot.
They're really great for adjusting valves. :-)
