I was litterally rolled in the yard one day by an F-20. The thing was running but very ruff and was winding down and fixing to die. I was standing in front ready to start cranking as soon as the engine stopped. When it stopped, I had just enough time to push the crank in so that it would catch when the engine fired backwards on that final TDC. It wrapped up both of my arms in the crank, must of turned atleast a couple of revolutions, and I ended up flat on my back laying in the yard. Fortunately, I didn't break anything. Another time, the old F-20 kicked back on me when trying to start it when really cold. That time I was cranking correctly, and the impulse was working and the spark advance was set right, but she kicked. My H has a distributor and it kicks back all the time when hand cranking. Be sure to crank safely and correctly. If you do that, sooner or later one will kick back and it won't hurt ya none. If you don't, sooner or later one is going to kick back and hurt ya.
