Sabb
I have a Sabb Model G which we are able to hand start. As described by others, you throw the compression release lever to the open position, crank as fast as you can, then close the compression release lever. The Sabb does not have a glow plug, so that isn't an issue. We do have a 100A alternator on a big pully, and that creates belt drag even when unpowered. I have been able to start it with the alternator connected, but for a cold weather emergency start I would pull the belt, which can be done with one quick twist on a bolt.
