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.
I whacked the volume right up and almost jumped when they started it up

An engineering work of art

. What a buzz it must have been to swing that starting handle after all those years and it kick into life

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
