[SEL] From a newsgroup: ...cranking

[Bob Willman]

	I started my 25hp Superior by rocking the flywheels by stepping on
the spokes. 
One has to remember when the ignition will fire and get ones feet off the
wheel before then.
All in paying attention to the details. As I got older I built a pony start
mechanism.
If I had my druthers I would still prefer to walk the flywheels.

Reminds me of a fellow down in Texas telling about starting his 35 h.p.
(30?) Superior.  The sucker fired too early and he became airborne.  The
last thing he remembered was looking down into that big tall exhaust stack.
He sold the Superior not long after.  

I forget his name, but I'm sure there are people on this list who remember
him telling the story.

So many projects.  So little time.

Arnie.........What about those who stand on the flywheel spokes to bounce
start ? Could be an spectacular result !
