That might actually be a better idea. I'm going to have to think about
it. What I do, though, is pull VERY, VERY GENTLY on the cord and close
my eyes and pray a little bit (the praying part is very important I
think) and it always starts. It waits until just before you're ready
to give up (I think it knows) and then it roars to life. :-) :-)
