However, '''when using the electric starter''', the possibility of hydro-locking is possible. (Hydro-locking is a condition where too much fuel is in the combustion chamber or other cavities of the engine. So much so that attempting to force the engine to turn over will result in damage.) Always “pull” the propeller through the compression strokes 2 or three times with the power for the glow plug disconnected to check for a hydro-locked condition before applying the starter.

When hand cranking, always protect your hand with a sturdy leather glove or a special rubber sleeve available from model shops. Never start with your bare hand – you risk serious injury. Starting is easier if you pre-fill the engine with fuel. Open the carburettor fully and block the exhaust outlet with your finger. Quickly turn the engine 2–3 times with the propeller to draw fuel into the engine. Don’t overdo it– excessive fuel intake will flood the engine. Remove your finger and turn the engine once to make sure it is not blocked due to flooding. Do not attempt to start a flooded engine – there is a risk of serious engine damage.
