At one time all we flew around here was G62s. I liked mine, and I would flip it choked full throttle till the carb was wet, throttle back and then bang on the prop till it fired. Usually it would take a good hit or two. But at times[&:] people ( not just me ) would have to hammer away at the prop to get it to kick. It needs a good fast turn to get a good healthy spark!

I got tired of this ( my engine was set up right, and the gap between the CDI unit and the prop hub was right, needles set right ) and went with a spring starter. That made life much simpler. I have seen this with many of them. Sure they work well most of the time and are not hard to start with a manual flip but not always.

Some people went with the big power starter, but ya need two people to get it fired then.

Me, I liked the spring starter, pull back and let her rip.
