   Hi John,   
      
       I am waiting for improved weather (snowed recently, and more coming)   
   so I can go to the shed where generator is located.  I want to try my home   
   made "attachment" which will allow me to pull on the "starting cord" standing   
   up.   
      
       Note: Kneeling and pulling on the cord sideways is very awkward since the   
   generator is on the floor.   If the generator was up on a stand,  it wouldn't   
   be awkward.   
      
        I will wait a short while after opening the fuel valve and do what you   
   suggested, before I try to start the generator.  I will report what happens.   
      
            Again Thanks,  John
