I've searched but can't find exactly what I'm looking for.
I have a motor (still in the car) that I'm trying to test compression on before I remove it. I have most of the FI/engine wiring harness disconnected so I'm wondering if I can wire up leads from a battery to the starter/solenoid so I can crank the engine over? Is there an easy way to do this? |

Just to clarify, I've got the engine still in the car, since my 914,s battery is dead, I'm using a spare battery from some other car to try to make long jumper wires from the battery to the starter leads. The spare battery does not fit in the 914, and I can't hook it up to the 914s battery connections.
And so a cold engine compression check is pointless? |
