Since his only objective here is to get the motor running (i.e. there's no power rating needed), he could simply time the intake and exhaust valves to approximate a standard two stroke cycle.  All he'd need to do is get in just enough fuel on the downstroke to keep the engine turning.  The cycle would be upstroke > spark > fire > TDC > piston starts going down > exhaust opens ~ 20 deg ATDC and then closes shortly thereafter, then intake opens in the last bit  to get just enough fuel in before going back up on the upstroke.  If you note, the flywheel is quite big for this motor which suggests it might need the inertia to keep the engine running because it is too week.
