Listers,
Can this be done? Carbs are already off as well as starter and
transmission. Clutch and flywheel are attached.
Can I bolt the starter back on and put 12V power to crank and test? If
so What is the best, easiest way to hook up battery power? I have one of
those remote starter buttons for starting/crankning car engines while
working on them. Can this be used?
Although I did have the engine running and there was not noticeable blue
smoke coming from the exhaust before I dismantled my Ambo, I'd like to
check the compression before putting the engine back in the frame.
