Yep! Lower is better. As per Jim's experience, with a large [idler : load]
HP ratio there is less need for "balancing" components. Of course, the down
side is all that pulling required on the rope starter, not to mention wire
size requirements... Did'ja ever see Jim's right arm?

I always was worried about what would happen if the rope got
caught back up in a pull-start type, I would never do it that way.
