my dad hand starts most if not all his glow engines in the manner LuvBipes describes. With one exception. he does it by holding the spinner and just 1 of 2 fingers on the prop. and the action he uses forces his hand to pull away from the prop not go in towards it. its very hard to describe maybe need to get a video of him doing it (let me know if you want 1 might be able to get in to help) to be able to show you how hes does it. his technique works very well on his motors down to 61 and will normal try a couple of flicks on his 40s before using the starter.
