Do you have to pull of the fan and fan shroud in order to crank the motor by hand? I was reading on here that you just have to put a 19mm over the e-shaft pulley and crank it. I just dropped a couple ounces of redline 2 stroke in the leading holes and am getting ready to start the car for the first time in a while. Does it matter which way you turn the motor? Thank you for your patience.

 

When using the eccentric shaft bolt to spin the engine, do so going clockwise, tightening. This way, if something goes wrong, you don't accidently loosen the bolt. Also do so with the battery disconnected to be safe. You should be able to spin the engine over by pulling on the belt,

 

its nice if the fan isn't in the way, but you don't need to remove it. you can also use the alternator, which is a 22 or 23mm
