Default RE: Hand starting procedure...

When I broke in my Super Tiger 40, I did not have my starter at the house. I just grabbed a wood pencil, and went to town flipping the prop counter clockwise until it started. After it was broken in, I could start it with two to three flips if it was cold, and one flip if it was warm.

I have broken a half dozen pencils from backfires though, so if I was using my bare finger, I could have a nasty cut or even worse a missing finger.

So just throw a wooden pencil in your pocket with the glow igniter, and you will be good to go.

If the engine is dieing when going from idle to full throtle, it sounds like you have a mixture issue that needs attention.
