RE: I agree... hand crank in every car!




Old engines can easily make your heart race.
Go back 100 years to these guys (all over 100 yrs old) and one appreciates the "start button".

The grey one was the power generator at a hospital in Minot ND, +6000lb. 15HP at 350 RPM, this takes 20min of a gasoline blow torch to attempt to start (a very early diesel). No crank, you hang on the flywheel spokes to turn and bump on compression and if lucky, it fires and runs the opposite direction.
