My dad had one of those, I learned to cuss from him when he was trying
to start it.

My thought, too, on winding a spring to start it. Reminds me of a
rotary mower I bought from Sears in 1961. I'd lift the "crank"
handle, turn it counterclockwise to wind a spring, then stow the crank
handle to release the spring to turn the engine. Easiest,
best-starting mower I've had; used it nearly 30 years.

THat is impressive. A whole chevy 454 in each cylinder. I whole IH
/ford powerchoke in each cylinder.
It appeared though that the crank compressed a spring or something
that was released to actually turn over the engine. I don't think
that anyone short of paul bunyan could directly crank a 28L 4 cyl
fast enough to start it.
