It may surprise some of you-all to know that many people my age (56+1/2 going on 56+3/4) have never started anything with a hand crank. This morning I became one of you-all. After adjusting the valves, replacing the worn out weights in the mechanical advance (both the brass lined holes that ride on the spinning plate were elongated and irregular) checking the timing, syncing the carbs, and color-tuning, it started so quickly I had to try the hand crank. Hand crank starting was so cool I had to shut it off and do it again. It's probably the most fun you can have with both hands clasped on your crank.
