Default OS 120 III 4 stroke W/pump

Just a question; can this engine be started by hand (not with the electric starter)?

Thanks!!!!

As I suspect you know, the instructions say the starter is required. I have never tried to start it by hand. Mine requires a lot of cranking with the starter to get it going when cold. Starts quickly hot, or after having been run. You might be able to start it by hand if you could access the carb and prime it.

I have to use the starter to prime the engine and start it the first flight of the day. Mine starts with one back flip after that. Jon

Mine too, when cold it likes a starter but after that it back snaps on the first flip.
