A demonstratio of correctly hand cranking a 1928 Rolls Royce Phantom I. Ignition set to Magneto & Battery, Ignition timing to fully retarded, Mixture full rich, Speed governor at 8 O Clock position. Note always grasp crank in fingers not the palm and pull up in one swift motion. Never downwards . Disregard old comedy movies in which they show the man whirling away at the crank. Car courtesy Mr. Abid Aziz.

  • With the ignition timing fully retarded, and the slipping dog engagement of the hand crank, there is less chance of a kick back than a motorcycle kick starter. The procedure is exactly as given by RR in the instruction manual. I agree however that anyone not following the procedure exactly can seriously hurt himself. So dont try this at home.

  • Ok will try with left hand.
