Test spark by cranking by hand? was created by thejameswilliam
Working on the ignition system on my build and would very much like to save my battery by not constantly turning over the starter motor to test the spark. Will I get spark if I turn it over by hand?

I have a '81 kz550-c3, with pickup coils and an IC ignitor.

Better just sweep past either pick up with a screwdriver or similar, this is sufficient to fire the IC ignitor.

One of the manuals in my signature describe the screwdriver trick. It works pretty reliably.
