Yes thanks GB, Its a useful tool as a starting method among a number of others and worth learning. But just like all tools, None are perfect for every job but worth adding to our bag of tricks

My OS engines will all start with a slap on the prop in the reverse direction and it starts right up. Pretty cool. Of course, the engine was previously started using an electric starter, and tuned properly. This works great with all subsequent starts.

I back snap all my engines during the summer but only after they have been started with a starter. My SK two strokes will snap start without being warmed up if I have primed them correctly first time every time.
During the winter my engines don't like to start, some are better then others but I often have to resort to that dreaded {by John} power panel!!!!!![X(] I jack up the glow plug heat all the way. Winter is the only time I use the glow plug on the panel. I won't get into why I even have a panel in this thread, sorry I brought it up!
With my Buckner converted starter there is no reason to start my engines without a starter but I back snap to show off A little, it dazzles a lot of people!!
