I'm curious about what happens if you mis-pull (i.e. just pull it a half
turn or so) and the engine starts anyway because it's warm, for example.

Let's further assume just for the sake of argument that the throttle is
stuck wide open.

It there any danger of the cord winding itself 'the wrong way' and
converting itself into a sort of weed whacker?

Yep, my concerns too, which is why I asked and want to make sure the
rope is the right length, etc. Having never started an engine like this,
it looks a little dangerous....
