Was tinkering with the 39B as the carburetor has been over flowing with gas. My brother had stopped by and I replaced the carburetor, and told him I will never be able to hand crank this thing as it is pretty stiff with the new rings and liners. I gave the hand crank a couple of turns and surprise, surprise it fired up. That was the first engine, large than a lawn mower I have hand started. It didn't run but maybe 15 secs, but I started it a couple of times with the hand crank before deciding to use the Milwaukee 1/2" drill for a starter. Still have some issues keeping it running so may need to clean the carburetor again. Tim

I started Kaleb's C with the crank the other night. First time I've hand cranked one since I was a teenager.

I've had to crank my WD45 a few times this year. Its still pretty easy to do and it starts right up on the second crank. OhOh, now I've gone and jinxed it!
