Just recieved my first project car. I was told it runs, but how do I get it started? Turn key and push starter button at same time? Or do I turn key and then push starter button. posted: June 22, 2008       Answers (1)   street454      The key is for ignition "on". The button engages the starter. 1. Key on. 2. Push button. You may also have a hand choke on that so if the car is cold, make sure that you have the hand choke pulled out all the way. When it starts, push it about 1/4 to 1/2 way in until it warms up. Good luck! Mark posted:  June 23, 2008
