I have been puzzled by this a while but never had the guts to ask.
I am rebuilding a South African Saracen, listed as a Mark3 SA and identical, and I mean identical, to the "Saracen 88". This vehicle is fitted with a plug underneath the radiator grill and I initially dismissed the thought that is was for a starting lever. Researching and reading through Saracen and other MV material, I realised that there are indeed an access points for a starting levers on most MV's.
My question is this, how agile and strong should one be to swing and start, for example the Rolls B80 engine in the Saracen, and I take it that it is a "small" engine by comparison? What am I missing?

Hi guys,
I have been puzzled by this a while but never had the guts to ask.
