Procedural Steps:
1. Remove the inspection plug (1) from the end of the solenoid (shift lever housing).
2. Use a screwdriver or anything small enough to enter the inspection hole, push inward
on the top of the shift lever connected to the solenoid plunger (2), top end of shift lever
(3). This will engage the starter drive piston and energize the starter.
3. In case of a starter relay (only found on older vehicles not yet converted), the relay
may be by-passed while the engine is being started.
