No need for a chain or another tractor or a hill or anything else like that. I use a hand start B to haul firewood all winter and I've been using hand start John Deeres since I was kid(longer ago than I like to admit) so I've had a little experience starting them in all kinds of conditions. The reason there's an impulse coupling on your mag is so you don't have to turn it over fast so forget that. General condition of the ignition system and correct timing is critical. Others who have mentioned this are right on track. Decent compression is important, particularly good valves. I've run some that used a little oil, but started easily. Sticking valves will really cause problems. Carb has to be clean and properly adjusted. If it won't run and idle decently, it probably won't start either. Exact throttle and choke settings for easy starting will vary a little, but generally go easy on the choke. A couple of turns with the choke on at most. If you fill the manifold with raw gas you will have to crank a while to suck it all out. When this happens frequently the engine will fire once, then pull raw gas from the manifold and flood itself again. Eventually enough of the raw gas will be pulled out of the manifold and it will start and run, but you'll be tired by then. In cold weather I use this old trick. Turn it over a couple of times with the choke on, then a couple more times with the chooke off. If it doesn't start go gas up the chain saw, load up the gas and oil cans, put your maul and wedges in the trailer, etc. Then turn it over with the choke off, it will usually start easily. Scientifically liquid gsoline cannot burn, gasoline can only can burn a gas. The time you give it allows the gasoline to evaporate in the cylinders so it can be ignited easily. Just my opinion, Good luck, Paul

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
