Hello All From Kentucky!
I just purchased 1974 914 in Ohio. Overall it looks to be in good condition. I tried to start the old girl and all I get is a loud "CLICK" from the starter. I pulled the plugs and filled the cylinders with Marvin's Mystery Oil. Still just a click. My Question: Is there an easy way to hand-crank the engine so I can check that it NOT seized? Can I just put it in gear and push it to spin the engine? Any and all advice is welcome. Fingers crossed the engine is NOT sized. |

Marvel Mystery Lil in the cylinders, let sit for a few days then try to rotate. Mine was rings rusted to the cylinders, doing this little by little over a period of time got it free. I’d also recommend getting a. Cheap bore scope for your phone or laptop and taking a look in the cylinders before you start to see what you are dealing with.
