If I bring the car up to a compression stroke, when it's warm, the car will also start simply by switching the ignition on!
Hi Ruaridh
I think it is manufacturer dependant. My special running a ‘Distributor Doctor’ distributor starts, like yours, with a quarter flick of the handle. The ‘Powerspark’ distributor on my van will not start on the handle, no matter what! It is, as you say in your second post, necessary to have 6 volts or thereabouts.
