ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for starting a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine having an electrical ignition system employs a manually operable device such as a piezo crystal for generating an electrical pulse which is routed to the center terminal of a standard automotive distributor. A first diode is disposed in the conductor wire that conveys the pulse to the distributor. A second diode is disposed in a feed wire that conducts current to the center terminal from the electrical ignition system. Both diodes are similarly directed so as to isolate the generated pulse at the distributor. A manually operated pumping mechanism is caused to deliver liquid fuel to the cylinders of the engine simultaneously with the generation and routing of the electrical pulse.
