assuming that the engine is still connected to the transmission,connect the battery positive to the starter cable and another lead from the battery to
the earth,a wire from the main starter starter lead to the coil positive and the auto chokes & idle cut off solenoids if fitted,connect the
starter positive wire to the solenoid terminal via a momentary switch,if the engine has fuel when it is cranked it should fire and run. This is
assuming all care has been taken,there are no fuel leaks,short circuits and all due care.
