Re: Anyone ever used a drill to start a small outboard?
Yes, chainsaws are very popular also for doing that. Should be able to find someone to throw that thing together.<br /><br />I have started stuff with drills before if it had a big bolt in it. You just pull it off when it starts, and don't start it at WOT-duh! Best to use a big drill though, like a half inch electric minimum. Maybe a big cordless if it has a low gear. That thing likely has little compression. Never use an impact, as it does what it is named for and impacts the bolt instead of turning it. Try starting a motor with a hammer; same thing.<br /><br />What we need is a recumbant kickstarter! Any ideas?
