"Hi
My worst fears are being realized. Ran My engine (Perkins 4107) about month ago but after it stopped, it would not crank. I removed the starter and had it checked all ok, Bought new 4/O cable and connected direct to battery. I can crank engine by hand on nut at front of pulley. When starter was removed ring gear inspected and looked ok. I can crank engine about 180 degrees with no resistance and then it gets hard to turn. If I crank it back by hand and then try to start it turns to that resistance point. I am thinking of removing injectors to take all compression off engine and then trying to crank. Help and ideas appreciated."
