For an engine of its era, it is not surprising the engine expects hand starting. I was ready to pity the chap doing the job, seeing there's reduction gear to make it hard work, but it started at the first try every time. Impressive!
Could one fit an electrical starter? Of course it would be a goddamn anachronism, but it would come in handy.
