I am sure if the prop is help tight there are no chances of starting the engine. However, the backfire or the back-kick is what I was scared of which is more common with 4 strokes.

Actually if any one has dealt with Diesel Engines would realise that diesels are always ready to fire

and so priming by holding the prop is a natural thing to learn. The 'bump' as mentioned will take away frustrating flicks

Actually for diesel engines, you dont need to feel the bump, for a restart it is the click of the contra piston moving back up which you need to listen for to know that the engine is ready to be flicked

Absolutely right. I was referring to the Glow bump in this case.

hope it helps :-)
