V8COOPMAN, Thanks for the praise up but im just a simple mechanic/electrician. You are the patient one with all the tech info and drawings. I get somewhat frustrated when trying to help people who just wont do the checks that are being advised. And then there are the others who answer problems who have no idea what they are talking about. I think some are just in the race to have the highest number of posts on here. RANT OVER. There is no way that a generator wired to run as a motor with a tight belt would have enough torque to rotate a v8 motor with the spark plugs in place. 2nd RANT OVER. Problem is the asker of the questions often does not give all the information. which would help diagnose the fault. And then when they have fixed the problem with your advice you never hear about it. 3rd RANT OVER. Regards, Kevin
