no electric anything except radio and lights

I'll admit I've been spoiled by electric starters.

I converted a Lincoln SA200 welder from hand cranked to electric starter after a few sore wrists and arms from it kicking back and hitting me with the crank. Especially after asking the previous owner who mentioned his brother getting some teeth knocked out cranking a similar engine on a baler.

The Model T was notorious enough about kicking back if you set the advance up too far that the injury came to be known as a “Ford Fracture.”
