What should engine kick back be set to?
At greater setting, approximately 30 degrees plus or minus 2-1/2 degrees BTDC, “kickbacks” may well occur on start, with damage to the starter or other components. So, engine start should be made with the column spark control set at FULL RETARD (UP) and timing set to 5 degrees to 10 degrees ATDC for ease of starting.
Why does my Car start after I release the key?
When you start your engine and release the key or stop pressing the starter button on a modern vehicle, the circuit is supposed to close, which will discontinue power to the starter motor. If the starter stays on after the engine has ignited, the main contacts in the starter relay have most likely welded together in the closed position.
What happens when the ignition key is turned?
When the ignition key is turned a low amperage electrical signal, is sent to the anti-theft system and computer. The signal then continues to the starters solenoid, which activates the, high amperage side of the electrical system. As a result, engaging the starting motor.
What causes engine kick back at 150 rpm?
At an engine cranking speed of 150 RPM, the crankshaft has moved only 1.8 degrees, not a significant change in piston position or gas compression. 150/60 X 360 degrees X 0.002 = 1.8 degrees That small rotation determines that kickback is caused by spark, gas ignition, and burning well before top-dead-center (BTDC) piston position.
Why does my car kick back so hard?
Usually when an engine kicks back that hard, it is because the valves are out of adjustment. The engine has a compression release that aids in starting the engine. If the valves are out of adjustment the compression release does not work and will jerk you hand back. I have posted a few images below. Just click on the images to enlarge them.

Why does my car not start when I turn the key?
So, if this happens the starting motor will have to be replaced. The most common problem with a starting motor is; when you turn your key and nothing happens. A solenoid or motor that has burned out or electrical issues may cause this as well. Furthermore, a dead battery can cause the same problem.
