Topic: starting a faryman buy hand(crank)

Hello all

I am sure this has been discussed here before but I thought I would bring it up again because to date I have had no luck starting my engine by hand. I can get the engine to turn over, hand cranking, but not at a speed that comes close to getting her to start. Generally when starting a engine by hand one would normally have a de-compression lever to allow the engine to speed freely, but I can't find one on the engine.
Has anyone had any luck getting the engine to start by hand, and if do any tips?

John

Hi John - I have had to start Morava several times by hand crank given I think there is a problem with my battery connections and charger.  All I can tell you is that it starts every time - but all I do is just crank that sucker up - not much help I am afraid.

My Bukh had a decompression lever that certainly made it easier to spin. Are you sure you don't have one?

I have the Farymann K34M and I am pretty sure I don't have one.
