It doesn't have a starter. The engine is an 1834cc VW engine, none of those engines on that airplane have starters. The accident was last year, the airplane has since been fixed and is flying.

Yup 
There's a video floating around of one that the guy has to use a squeeze-bottle to suck fuel out of the tank, then he injects it into the cylinders somehow. Unless they put some kind of primer port on the intake(s) I don't know how he's accomplishing that - but he does.
