Okay, I really do not want to pay someone $400 to replace my flywheel and I live at an apartment where you can not work on your car.
So I have a fast solution. The fan has an Allen Bolt. I know this sounds crazy, but drill a hole in my firewall (yes, I know having a hole in the firewall in not a great idea) but anyway, drill a hole in the firewall, get a foot long externion with the correct Allen Tool (greased up so it can come out when the engine ignites) and have a Socket Wrench on the other side so you can turn the engine to start it. Ideas, thoughts. I know I am crazy, but I miss my 914. |

OR you could find an abandoned bicycle, remove the pedal assembly, seperate it so that you now have one arm and one pedal. Now take the pedal and arm assembly, make a bracket on the side of your car to hold it firmly in position but allow it to rotate. From there you will ned to fabricate an extensive yet simple set of arms and levers up to the bellhousing. Remove the starter and run your final piece of linkage straight to the flywheel teeth. At the end of this piece of linkage will be a spring loaded mechanism that will engage the flywheel teeth upon you depressing the pedal and when you release the pedal the teeth disengage. For the teeth you could possibly use and old flywheel section, cut and rebent in the opposite direction, or possibly your neighbors dentures.
Congratulations you know have a kick start 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) |
