Lost your crank handle? Make a new one - PDF plans here (111K).
Please learn how to crank-start a
car safely if you're unsure - as you can easily end up breaking
wrists etc. Crank at your own risk.
Ahma reports: "As far as I know, it works fine on all carb-Nivas, I have
made 8 of those here and distributed to Niva-friends all over the country. The
only complaint I got was that it does not work with a bullbar mounted - for
those cars they the have to make the shaft longer. The other possible problem
is that injection cars do no open injector volountary - start spray may be needed."
Credit to: Sean Huffman "booneylander" for making the drawing, Håkan Winqvist "nivanörden" for the measuring, and Mats Ahlberg "ahma" for doing the prototype.
BTW, the crank-start handle is also useful for the timing-chain tightening process a Niva regularly needs.
