windy gun usually shifts it too failing that then wedge a socket on a breaker bar onto the chassi and flick key to jerk the starter, never had one fail to come off that way, but only a flick mind you dont want the engine to start!!!!

If you try the breaker bar method disconnect the dis pk lead so it wont start

tried it with a very heavy duty airgun and that didn't touch it so did the breaker bar against the chassis trick and that worked a treat so thanks for that tip

LOL, was having exactly the same problem myself on Sunday.

Now awaiting Machine Mart to send me 2 new sockets (one for crank, another for one of the torx used on big ends), as they let me down - causing some painful scrapped knuckles
