[Mgs] Slow Starter

[Barney Gaylord]

Could be too much spark advance causing it to kick back before going 
over TDC.  Not a problem when cold because it doesn't fire on the 
first couple of strokes until it gets spinning good with the 
flywheel.  Next time it happens, try this.  Switch off, pull starter, 
give it a turn or too to get spinning well, then switch on.to 
run.  If that works, then you need to retard ignition timing.
