    I never saw the ratcheting bar starter used before.
    I wonder if they were more common, but just got lost over the years.

    John, I think it could launch you if you forget to retard the spark!

    I'd have to think through the mechanics of it, but I believe the one way ratcheting action would prevent that.
    I'm back after a quick simulation with a ratchet wrench, and yes a kick-back would do exactly what you said.
    (Not the first time I've been wrong!)

    My maternal Grandfather's only broken bone came from a Model T.
