Yep, starts easy - as long as the carb is pretty much in perfect tune, you
don't flood it - meaning the cable pull choke is used perfectly, and the stars
all align. Otherwise, unless you're between the ages of 18 and 28 and fit,
your arm will wear out before it starts. Before I wired mine to start by
motorizing the welding generator, I had a protocol to hand crank it -
something like this: 1. switch off and choked halfway, 2. crank through two or
three revolutions, no more, 3. turn on switch and push choke off, 4. hold
mouth correctly, 5. crank. If the carb was just right, it would start when
the first plug fired.
