Yeah I was going to pull the #1 plug and watch for a spark - but the timing light idea might make it a little easier in the light of day.
I've had this thing kick back on several occassions in the past - you really do need to be holding it the right way to avoid breaking bones.
Even holding it properly - it'll still give you a good enough jolt that forces a new found respect for the amount of power in even these relatively small engines.
Only reason it happened more than once to me is that this was my first engine that needed hand cranking - I thought I was doing it wrong. Didn't realize the timing was off.
Must have been timed close because it only happened if I went slow - and didn't give it a good quick lift.
