James,

I've just looked over your ChangFa photos, nice! I did notice that your
has a engine driven water pump? My does not have this feature.

I did start my by hand a few times so far, not really that difficult. I
press and hold (moved towards the right, when turning the hand crank)the
compression release valve, locate just behind the air-intake manifold,
Spun the handle vigorously, released the compression release valve and
spun it a few more time, to carry it through the compression stroke.
Engine starts and kicks out the handle. It was kind of scary , thinking
about, "What if this thing breaks my friggin arm?", So I had a neighbor,
who is a muscle bound youngster, turn it and start it the first time! Ah!,
it's surprising what a little reverse physiology can to do a youthful mind!

Did your brand of ChangFa engine come with a key switch installed?

Good luck and enjoy the new toy?
