if I have both rear wheels off ground and trans in gear, engine does not turn over, both wheel just spin.
does it matter which wheel I have on the ground when trying to turn engine over via rotating a wheel? |

if both wheels are turning forwards, yes.
If you have one wheel locked in position on an open differential,, you need to turn the free wheel backwards to get it to spin the motor forwards. Go give it a try...you will see. rich |
