I know exactly what you mean! The amazed look on their face is priceless when you walk over, prime their engine for them, then hit the starter for a quick second and it fires right up!

You hand start guys kill me!
flip flip flip flip, cuss, adjust, flip flip flip, cuss, adjust, flip flip flip...
The people you hang out with obviously don't know what they're doing!
OTOH, I really get a kick out of people who apply the starter to the spinner and crank the thing for what seems like minutes. I always wonder how much engine life has been ground away because nobody ever taught them to prime the engine before applying the starter.
