That was interesting.

Found out later you should never hand-prop an engine like that one
(something to do with the mags kicking over too soon or something like
that.)

Why would the mags kick over too soon? Aren't they preset and fixed
so that they don't kick over too soon?

Or did you mean that the preset (around 26 degrees BTDC) is too
advanced for hand propping?
