Thanks for the replies...I guess you might be right dennis, I will probably save myself alot of time and frustration by just getting an electric starter. I have had experience with a savage truck .25 glow engine, so I know a little bit about how they work, but I wasn't sure how one could start an airplane engine just by spinning the prop. Didn't seem like enough "help" to turn it over
THanks for the tips and I'll let ya know how it goes.
