Here`s the palce to ask...is it safe (for thi IP)to bump the crank by the starter (a remote switch,connected to the terminals) with the IP lever it the "Stop" position..you know,the pull/push knob on w110/115/early123`s....I believe,as the plungers are in no delivery position,it can do no harm? even if cranking too long...Thanks! I`ve already bought those wrenches
