Thanks, Charlie! Great instructions.

| Hi Lenny, You'll have to reattach the transmission temporarily to mount the starter. Hook the positive jumper cable to the positive cable lug on the solenoid, hook the negative to a good ground for the starter (mounting bolt?) and then hook one wire of your remote starter button to the positive lug of the solenoid and the other wire to the spade terminal that the starter relay/button connects to. If you have one of the Marelli solenoids with the extra ground terminal, you'll need to ground it somehow also. Should work this way. You might want to recruit someone to hold the engine/trans assy. to keep it from moving around too much while cranking. Cheers, Charlie lsei-@erols.com wrote:

<pre wrap="">Listers,
Can this be done? Carbs are already off as well as starter and
transmission. Clutch and flywheel are attached.
Can I bolt the starter back on and put 12V power to crank and test? If
so What is the best, easiest way to hook up battery power? I have one of
those remote starter buttons for starting/crankning car engines while
working on them. Can this be used?
Although I did have the engine running and there was not noticeable blue
smoke coming from the exhaust before I dismantled my Ambo, I'd like to
check the compression before putting the engine back in the frame.
