    You can rope start those with a manual rope with the top cowl off. I don’t usually try to remove the hood with them running as I am afraid of getting it wedged and causing an issue…. Especially if the motor is warmed up, they start easily enough to rope them over. There is a notch in the flywheel for a knot, but even in not, the tabs on the flywheel will hold a knot enough to do a quick rope start.
