Please use a strap or cord to pull on the flywheel, that vice-grip is a an accident waiting to happen...

Those engines are made to run in either direction. Back in the day fishermen had those in their boats with a prop. One direction forward the other direction reverse

Every time it pops off, it spins back opposite the direction you’re spinning it. Does that mean it would start easier being spun that direction in the first place?

Please be careful the vice grips don't fly off if it fires up. Maybe a pull strap will be safer for you.

You can tell which way it turns by looking where the crank handle goes, look at the notches to see which way the crank handle grabs

the way it kicked back looks like you're spinning it the wrong direction

Bud, don’t seem like you’re spinning it pass the compression stroke. That’s when the spark plug will actually ignite the fuel air mixture and send that thing a scootin

the groove on the shaft where the handle goes should have a flat spot that it hooks onto. so it should rotate toward the flat area on the groove

Check the valves to make sure you’re spinning it the right way

Great video. Hard to say if you have all the parts. Ex a kill switch or throttle controls. Hang in there.

Use gas instead of starting fluid, you probably think there’s no difference but trust me there is. Not saying that’s the problem for sure but another thing, aren’t those mags supposed to snap when it pulls the lever down it snaps back? I might be wrong on that too but seems to me that they snapped
