Just a thought electric starter

Hi not trying to teach my granmother to suck eggs (that's what
they say in the uk) but having read the section on starter
motors with a single cylinder motorcyle I usually prime the
engine and rest it just over tdc and the use the button to start
this allows it one and a half turns before tdc again giving
momentum to the flywheel and giving the starter and easy task
single cylinder engines come to rest just before tdc when
stopped on the key ie not enough energy to get over compression
if this prolongs the life of the dyno start it can't be a bad
thing

I've never read what the recommended starting procedure is for
the Dynastarter, but for the kickstart, it's not what you would
expect. The book says to pull in the valve lifter, and kick
until the motor is spiinnng well, and then drop the lifter, much
in the same way that old Lister diesels in dump trucks and
cement mixers were started, using the kinetic energy of the
flywheel to start it. I wonder if the same recommendation
applies to the Dynastarter, allowing it to spin the motor up
with valve lifter open, and the dropping to start?
Incidentally, I always roll my Harley backwards in gear onto
compression when I stop, so the starter gets that same easy ride
when it's time to go again...

Hi I have a diesel stationary engine just like you say cock the
decompressor and wind over fast as you can the the the
decompressor flies of automatically then with luck you get the
putt putt sound and your up and running so yes this may be the
better way especially if they recommend that

I just treat it like any big single. Ease over TDC, open
enrichener, one swing to bring the fuel in, then over TDC again,
switch on, and one swing to start. Works every time.
I've never fancied the other method as it'll just wear out the
kickstart, but on the electric foot, it might be the way to go?
