Default RE: Starting a Magneto Engine Without Using Spring Starter

The only trick is to give it a good slap, not just a casual flip. Lots of guys start their magneto engines by hand, but when you have it primed and ready to start, you have to get your arm swinging and give it some follow-through. Wear a thick glove.
