You can't do a pull start or roll start in 50 -60 yards with a low compression engine like yours. I don't think you understand the idea of a pull start. It is to get the engine to spin much faster than what the starter motor can provide thus generating more (sustained) heat in the cylinders. You won't be able do do that in 60 yards. Don't waste your time, again! Do a real pull start or use Ether. Glow plugs will help with a pull start so use them. But DO NOT use glow with Ether.
