Not all that hard. Check the oil level in the crankcase, Check the fuel 
level with the dipping stick, then turn on the gas valve. Set the choke 
if it is cold. Then set the spark advance about halfway and advance the 
throttle just a bit. Make SURE the handbrake is set. Engage the crank 
handle with the handle as low as possible and pull UP on it with a quick 
motion. Repeat as required. Once it starts get in and adjust the choke 
until it runs smooth and warms up.
