Way back almost in another life, we had to go to school to learn electronic ignition systems. One thing that has stuck with me through the years was the command to never crank the motor over with any wires disconnected, unless specifically instructed to do so. To do it risks instantly destroying some expensive components. Many of learned the hard truth of that the first time we yanked the rope on an Eska with the plug out.

Anyhoo, I’m wondering what would happen if you crank a motor like yours with the coils disconnected? Needless to say, I don’t know because I learned my lesson well and never tried it.

Anybody?
