My advice is very valid and very safe. I reckon you wouldn't understand unless you've been behind the wheel of something that had the throttle stick open or go WOT by itself while being pull started. Really makes a bloody mess of things, people and machinery included. This isn't to say that I have never pull started anything, I have, countless times, just not machinery that has been freshly repaired and is being started for the first time. This bit of learning has been passed down to me by those who learned the hard way. I don't care how good of a mechanic you are, things do and will get missed or put together incorrectly at some point down the road. It isn't a matter of if but a matter of when. I'd sure hate to be the one that got someone else hurt.
