Great stories. I do remember now about cranking the Titan. I saw my neighbor do it. He had to put the crank on (left side), raise it to the top and pull DOWN. I guess the compression was pretty low, because I remember the chuff-chuff as he pulled it through. I am wondering about the hard starting when hot. Maybe vapor lock? My father bought a Case baler about 1941, with a Wisconsin VE-4 engine. A great little engine, that turned fast and smooth. But it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to start with the very short crank when the engine was hot. The carburetor and manifold were on top, and I now suspect that the problem was vapor lock. A cold rag on the intake pipe or around the carb might have solved this, but we had never heard of that problem. Fuel-injected airplanes sometimes have this problem, because the pipes go over the top of the engine. The fuel probably turns to vapor in the pipes after the engine stops. It takes a lot of cold fuel pushing through to clear out the vapor. I don't remember any tractor having this problem, although it seems to me that a few weeks ago, somebody wrote about an F-12 that started hard when hot. Could be vapor lock. My father's F-12 did seem to start easily any time, as I remember.
