Man oh man oh MAN!! I just bought a Havsfidra 20 with an MD1B in it and cranked my brains out for two days and could not get her started. It would start from the starter motor by battery, but not by hand cranking. I'm going to try this tomorrow and I'll bet she starts just fine with the hand cranking now! Can't wait! Thank you SO much. Nobody EVER talks about this.....like it's supposed to be a "secret" or something!

Did you get it to go with the hand crank?!
I think that you have a Volvo Penta md2 or md2 A not md2b, I can't see an extra ventilation from the crank house.
How can you shut down a Volvo penta Md2b with out compression release?
