Default Re: Hard time starting with electric starter, easy with crank

I do it on the regular, and sometimes just for fun.

The real bugger was getting it started with only the hand crank at 2am for two weeks while I was waiting for the new starter to come in and it was my only transportation to work. I got pretty darn good at it.

I consider myself pretty average with fitness, and I wouldn't say its hard, but we'll see after a new set of rings and valves.

The best part is seeing my friends try to do it after I tell them the technique, and I get it on the next pull after they've lost steam.

That's pretty funny. You should shoot a video and post it here. I 'd love to see that.
