I assume that is an electric start engine? The Chinese build a
multitude of small diesel engines, mainly air cooled with a recoil
starters. I assume that as they keep selling them someone can start
them but I certainly can't.

Hold the compression release and they turn over all right, but when
you release it the engine just stops. Being in the middle of a
tremendous yank on the starter rope and the damned thing just stops
turning is an experience - you have to look to see whether your
fingers are still attached :-)


Sounds as if it needs a heavier flywheel.
