I hand started the left engine (260hp) of a Bongo van one time when stuck on the wrong side of the Owen Stanleys one Friday afternoon. Posted here about it once.

Also hand started a 235hp Lycoming in a Pawnee a few times.

Glad I was taught how to do it safely but do not care if I never have to repeat the procedure.
