Manually Starting a 1931 Ford Model A
In this video, a 1931 Ford Model A called "Vertie" gets a hand-cranked start after a dead battery. She has something to say after the engine revs, though...
This is a brief demonstration on how to manually start a Model A. This is for entertainment purposes and is not for instruction.

    Does it need a battery to start?

    • @larrycjost9388

      Probably. These cars had an old version of distributor ignition which does require some battery power to operate. I don't think turning the engine the way he did would generate enough electrical to run the ignition system

    I wish, I could see more Model A cars in real life. It's credible after nearly 100 years old, these cars have survive.

    I had an old tractor on the farm that crank started. In the winter,for the next mornings start, I would kill the engine with the choke to gas up the cylinders. In cold weather the gasoline wouldn't evaporate overnight so it started on the first pull.

    • @Joshkthomas
      @Joshkthomas ปีที่แล้ว

      I've never had an issue as long as I have the ignition timing where it "needs to be". Thumb in the palm is my biggest measure of safety apart from that. As long as my arm isn't in the path of that crank and it's timed correctly, I don't feel unsafe with this method. You're not the first to mention this. I think it's a valid point but not one that I personally use.

    Warning: NEVER use RIGHT ARM. use left arm only and without thumb wrapped on crank.. less on a bad day your arm is broken.

    • @Joshkthomas
      @Joshkthomas ปีที่แล้ว

      When it comes to breaking arms, in my experience, it's all been in the ignition timing, but your preference is certainly valid for an extra precaution.
