Cranking generator
I have a generator that the rope pully is damaged so I removed cover and welded a socket on to extension to fit nut so I could turn motor to crank.My question now is which way should I be spinning pully to the right or to the left.Thanks for your help

As one who owned a Hillman car with a broken tooth on the flywheel back around 1960, I used to hand crank it when needed. Point being, that kickback can be mean. Not sure where that long ratchet arm will land??

When I was building racing engines for sprint karts we used a motor powered by a battery (car) to start our engines.
Some people use a 15/16 socket on a 20 volt cordless drill.
