Sure it does. Not hard at all. Assuming your engine is in good
condition and the problem is with a dead battery or a faulty starter.
However, if you've just killed the battery by cranking it for 10
minutes and it still wouldn't start, a hand crank ain't gonna help!
I do recommend keeping all of your fingers and your thumb on the same
side of the crank handle though (don't grab it like a baseball bat).
Sometimes there's a bit of a kickback and if your thumb's in the way,
well...

OTOH, when my starter failed 3 hours into a 7-day trip I was glad to have
that crank along.

Got a lot of practice that week.
