It installed nicely and when the starter button was pushed it engaged and cranked the engine well,

..... however ......

When the starter button is released (without the engine starting) it makes a bad 'graunch' as...

Here I am in the old folks' home, without a T. I haven't hand-started an old car since September 7, 2023. I've been wondering if I'm now physically up to the task. Probably so, but it would be nice to give it a try and see if I can still crank-start. Does anybody on the forum have a running T near or in Winfield, KS, that I could try to start? If...

For most people, the first time is tough. That gives lots of us the impression that it's inherently unpleasant. If you're new to this game, don't be intimidated. With practice it becomes more familiar, and you learn some things to do and some things to avoid. The more you do it, the less you will dread it. A few suggestions:
