If the impulse on that F-12 or F-anything is'nt clicking, you will have a weak spark, and it is dangerous to the person on the end of the crank. That clicker stops and holds the internal workings of the magneto, when the engine gets past top dead center it releases, running the armature thru the magnets much faster then it would otherwise run. If it isn't clicking it can also kick like a old grey mule, break your thumb, break your arm, dislocate your shoulder, the possibilites are endless. The spark control lever shoul be straight up and down (12 o'clock) when attempting to start. At home when I was a kid, if the F-12 had set long enough for the gas to evaporate out of the carburetor, we unscrew the top nut or plug, what ever it is in the top of that castiron bulb connected to the fuel lines that sticks thru the hood, and poured it full of fresh gas. Usually one or two turns of crank and it started.
