Tubs, nice to see "smoke" on your RBM…. hope to see the same some day!
I wish I could put your video in "SloMo". Are you pulling the flywheel
through compression, or is it bouncing off reverse compression?
Also, where is the spark advance set during this process to "help out".
I’m not sure I’m man enough anymore to pull this Wisconsin through
compression, and realize after I thought of using both hands, that
it won’t be an option after the gas tank is back on, due to clearance
for the pinkies.
Thanks!

The Super Elto’s timer along with using a battery is the
reason they start by bouncing them off of compression.
You will need to pull yours through compression as the
mag makes the current. You’ll want to start with the
flywheel back as far as possible to get a full charge in
the coil before the points open.
Prepare to be boarded!
