bump starting is just turning the motor over with no spark plugs in it right? so theres no compression? i never heard the term before, thanks for th question, piece

There's still compression on the other side of the rotor housings, just no spark.



BTW, I don't know what bump starting is, but I do know that with the plugs out, you still have compression in the system.



Man, that took me a long time to type with all the mistakes I had to correct.

god i keep thinking of piston motors, bad!!!!!!!!! rotors god,good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bump start = push start I think ??



starting the car by droping the clutch while rolling.

That's what "bump start" means to me,ie:

Your car is dead, no power to turn it over so your push it until you have some speed them drop the clutch to engage to motor.

cmon,,,even the funny new girl new it,,,lol

I always though pushing your car and dropping the clutch was PUSH STARTING? Bump start, hmm, I know if you 'bump' the starter to get the engine to turn over only a tiny bit to check things, thats what I always called bump start.

yeah, i agree with rob

It sounds to me like it would mean having your friend bump his car into yours until yours started.

damn car <bump> start damnit <bump> ughh take this <bump> vroom vroom yes finnally
