Hello, I am sorry if I am so out of touch, but I really don't know what the meaning of the phrase "turn over" is in connection with starting engines. I used to think that it meant that the started motor cranked the engine freely, but the engine didn't start. However, from the context that I have seen the phrase used, I think that it means something else these days. An example might be, "The engine starts fine, but it doesn't turn over." Thanks, Mike '84 GL '58 Isetta
