Gentle starting means knowing the throttle settings well enough so that when the engine starts it revs up to about 800 rpm or so and stays there. Are you not bothered by the common hi-wear technique (instantly revving to 2000 rpm as soon as the engine starts to fire, then throttling back down) that a lot of mental midgets use? Never seen people run up their engines to 2000 at startup. |
