Did you turn the key? Usually that makes cars start after dropping in a good motor.

It's not always called the same thing... "push starting" is also common. Push the car to speed, pop the clutch to start.

I took the SA up MT Baldy one spring some years ago, and when we were ready to leave, she wouldn't fire off.

I set possibly the world's longest gravity-start record.

battery might be completely dead so its not cranking the starter but if its not doing anything at all and it wont start after you "push start" it...( gotta let the battery charge for atleast 30 minutes so leave the car running or drive it around for a little) than chances are your gonna need a new starter... or your just joels twin lol
