Default Starting a Four stroke engine tip

A friend of mine told me about this, i was have trouble with my electric starter turning over my OS four stroke 70, he told me if i found the compresion stroke on the propeller, i should turn it backwards till the compression stroke comes up again, that is were you start the electric starter as it needs a run up to get the engine to start.. if you started on the intial compression stroke the starter cant turn it over

Good tip. A bit like the old running before jumping
