Been there, done that--always when I'm trying to show someone how easily my truck starts.

Years ago I delivered propane to the pumping unit for an oil well. The pumper showed up while I was there and asked me to help him restart the engine. His 12 volt motorized starter that was frictionally applied to the flywheel was on the fritz.

I cranked until nearly exhausted, then he cranked a few turns, then I cranked some more. The last time I put all of the effort I could into it as one last shot at starting the engine.

As I gave the final turn all played out, I looked up just in time to see the pumping unit moving along with the turning engine. The pumper had failed to pull the clutch.

I don't know how much oil we pumped by hand, but the well probably met its quota for the day.

To this day I haven't much cared for an AJAX engine.
