direction to turn crankshaft manually
Kmaniac,
Great advice and especially on using a fresh reservoir for the gasoline before using the gas tank. It was mentioned to me at the autoshop to turn the crankshaft like I was taking off a nut. That would be counterclockwise - right? Or does it matter which direction it is turned manually? |

Re: direction to turn crankshaft manually
It really doesn't matter which way you turn it when using a wrench. The typical rotation during operation is clockwise when looking at the crankshaft bolt. You can verify this looking a the timing mark scale. The mark will travel from BTC to ATC during normal operation.

Thanks Kmaniac,
It will hopefully start this Saturday. I'll post to let you know if it does. |
