help please

The message from "Madrigo Padrigo" contains these words:

Well - do you remember that film where the bloke loses his hands while swinging the prop a biplane? Might have been the one about Douglas Bader.

Well, like that.

If it's a self propelled cylinder mower like my old Webb, you can push/ bump start it like a car; powre switch to on, clutch down, push forward until you get some momentum then dump the clutch.

Any way to start a "cord pull lawnmower " without the cord pull?

TIA

Safely - No. Unsafely -Yes.

Take the pull start cover off, get a suitable bit rope and wrap it around the cup on top off the flywheel. Ensure you hold the rope in such away, that if it was to get pulled back in, it would pull out off your hand and not pull you into the engine. And give it a good pull
