I am working on a friend's 1985 E35-III that has been on a cradle for 3 years. I'd like to turn the engine (Universal 5432) over by hand to make sure it hasn't seized up, but the decompression lever doesn't budge. I understand that it rotates clockwise for decompression. I'm not using a lot of force or leverage because I certainly don't want to break it.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
