- yes - seen it done a few times. The 'C P's' output is not so much of a problem if you use the exhaust gas to get the necessary RPM and then cut the 'feeder'. The biggest problem is getting the 'broken one' close enough. Beats runway jump starting

To add to 'odd' starting techniques, I flew with one Captain who used to move the 737 start lever up so slowly one thought he might have died. Apparently came from the 1-11 and "you get a cooler start if you bring the fuel in slowly". (Don't tell CFM...)
