first start on an old engine....how to?
Hey everyone, another newbie question...I have a pt40 just about set up. Batteries are in, servos are responding etc; etc; I am now at the point where I would like to try and start the engine up to see how it is working. The compression still seems great, new glow plug and some fuel. My question is, I don't have a battery powered starter. I have a battery for the charger unit, but dont want to have to spend the money on it if I don't have to. How do I get it started without one? I have heard to try using dowel stick, but it doesn't seem to turn it over at all. I am also not sure if I am doing correctly...
Are there any tips or tutorials on this?
