Litle more + To crank safely (if ignition timing is OK) Slowly turn the engine with crank
Stop when you feel resistance this is the beginning of the compression cycle of one of the cylinders pull the crank just enough to disengage from pulley notches put the crank handle down 90 degrees compared to floor reengage in the notches
and pull the handle firmly upwards keeping your thumb around the handle. This wil permit you to
have strongest pull on crank and if however the
engine kicks the handle will escape from your
hand downwards dont forget to put your thumb
around the handle if the handle escapes you will
be safe. Never cranck horizontally or downward by pushing action..if engine kicks you know the rest..... The cranking travel should be pulling upwards aprox from 7 o'clock to 10 o'clock compared to a watch. After each try.. replace the crank same as above
ad retry one compression cycle at a time
on a 4 cylinder engine there is 2 compression
cycle by turn. It seems to be a long romance to explain safe crancking but seems to me realy important..bigger is the engine bigger is the danger. Good "safe" tractoring"
