Wow indeed......and what a very well produced video. Great editing that keeps the viewer interested and tells the whole story in a short space of time. :clap: :clap:

I whacked the volume right up and almost jumped when they started it up :lol: Fantastic, reminded me of guy fawkes.

Thanks for posting. :thumbup:

That's to do with the long stroke I imagine.

Cheers guy's, I thought it was worth sharing.

I have started a fair few different engines over the years using a starting handle (including a Landrover as Furrybiker has), even so I would not want to try starting this one :eek2 :eek2
