Stan;
That's exactly right. These engines are great, but it gives me the willies working around it while it's running. I'm going to rig up some kind of protection, but meanwhile, I don't let anyone mess with it or run it when I'm not around.

Here is a basic pic of my power plant. The starter arrangement is visible on the right.

I just push by foot against the starter button, it leaves both hands free to work the governor and compression releases.
