Re: Crank start
As long as the timing is right on and the spark is fully retarded it shouldn't be a problem . When you lift up on the hand crank , the engine doesn't have to turn hardly a quarter of a turn and the engine starts right up. If the engine is cold you will most likely need to choke it once with the switch off . I made a choking device from a piece of 1/16 mild steel welding rod. I run the welding rod through the fins of the radiator at the level of the carburetor . I bend a hook on the rod and slip it through the hole at the bottom of the choke lever on the carb. I bend a loop on the facing end of the rod to pull by when I first pull up on the crank to choke the engine .The 1/16 welding rod is easy to bend and remove or it can be left in place , it is hardly noticeable .
