Yes, on those occassions when the starter intermitantly quit and I couldn't
find a grade to park on (or willing volunteers to push). If you have to do
it, get your hand out of the way as the engine kicks. The crank doesn't
always disengage from the pulley nut, resulting in a jolly good whack on the
back of the wrist.
The crank is also useful for priming a rebuilt engine before starting it up
the first time.

***** NOTES from Jay Laifman (JLAIFMAN (at) PNM) at 8/29/95 8:26a
Which reminds me, I always thought is was smart of the English to put a
little "breaker" nut at the end of the starter to turn it in case the
starter jammed, and was surprised that other car manufacturers didn't.
But, then again, I've never had a starter from a car, other than an
English car, jam up!
