Or you can have the friend put his finger in the boot and rest the side of
his hand on the car body or engine. Stop cranking when you hear a shout, as
he has probably released the wire or removed his hand from the car. If you
don't hear a shout, you are not getting a spark or your friend is mute. It
is best to use a very tolerant friend or one who has very poor memory.
