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. |

I've got pix's of my dad starting a B17 with shotgun shells. first they spun the motor with something like the bicycle crank idea..then fired 6 shotgun shells attached somewhere to what we would call a flywheel. So why not Wiretie 3 - 12 guage shells to the pully, in a peace symbol sorta position, and fire them with an electrical charge? Not only will it start, but you might bring down some dove for dinner at the same time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
