Uditha88 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 we can as long as battery is healthy. Ignition uses battery power. Ignition uses only battery power. when engine started, all electrical needs are satisfied by alternator & battery getting charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZer Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Make sure the battery is good. then put a bit of petrol down the throat of the carb and fire it up. It shoudl start. ( Also make sure u got enough fuel.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx The engine will start without an alternator. And even a starter motor. If the engine is not turning over at all probably the battery does not have enough charge to turn the starter motor. Try push starting instead...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx Im not entirely sure what exactly your question is but if its "cant we start the engine with out a alternator", yes you can but you cant keep the car running for long cause the battery would drain but the battery might have enough juice to make it to a nearby garage. But if the question is "can i use the car without an alternator forever" the answer is no cause when the battery is fully depleted the car wont start at all. Maybe if you can be a little bit more clearer on what the exact problem is we can assist you further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
