Default RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Most Saito's hand start pretty easy. I think the key is in the prime. They need to be good and wet, then backflip (clockwise) against compression. They'll kick and start counter clockwise. Though I have hand started most of my engines before, I usually use an electric starter. It just seems safer to me, and works easily hot or cold.
