4LW hand starting single handed?

[jenevers]

Has anyone devised a method to hand start a 4LW single handed? I saw a great vid showing a Lister JP4 which had a string tied to  the starter handle shaft which gradually wound round it and pulled a decompression lever down to fire up the cylinder.

It will depend on which variation of the decompressor levers your 4LW has. One is easier than the other to operate.

You're going to need a lot of Weetabix as well.

sod the Weetabix, consume brandy instead.  More fun and the arm won't ache so much.

Why hand start it? Why not just have a button to press like every other LW owner?

My 4LW has 1 lever in between cylinders 2 & 3 so I can't reach it whilst turning the starter handle

I have a start button but I just wondered if someone had devised a one man hand start system
