If it would, you would be lucky to start it even once. Solos don't need a dive to start. You can start them that way if your starter battery is dead but normally you never need to do this. I was obviously talking about turbos, which you have to dive to start. There is only handful of turbos with electric starter (for some unimaginable reason). There on single moving (rotating) part in a turbine. Compare that to shaking two-stroke held together with a bucket of tiewraps.
