Just want to be able to turn the engine over from under the hood, not really wanting to start it. It doesn't look like something that can be done "electrically", or can it? The starter pedal seems to make it an all "mechanical" setup.  Thanks, Ed | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 | Ed,
I have seen broom handles, big sticks and long screwdrivers all mentioned here as a mechanical means to turn the engine over from under the hood.

I just used a large screwdriver on the linkage on the bellhousing, just inboard of the starter. Just pull down on the screwdriver pivoting it off the toeboard. I put a shop rag over the end to keep from gouging the paint.

Works a treat.
If you don't unhook the spring, it's hard on your forearms, but it'll still work. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 183 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 183 | That's the direction I was going, just didn't release the spring. Thanks to all for the replies, I'll go make it work  | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 242 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 242 | Check out Vehicle of Victory.com, He sells a bar for a remote foot operated starter.
