About how much cord (approx.) would that be?
It seems you would want to go real slow when turning the crank so as not to pinch the end of the cord you use to withdraw it.
Feel free to elaborate if there is anything else pertinent.
It wouldn't take much...just enough to fill up the combustion chamber in the head. However, there's no penalty for using more than that, so feel free to feed in a good handfull. Sears sells replacement starter pull cords with handle for 2 or 3 bux. The handle will keep you from dropping the free end in by mistake. Also, you're not likely to spin the engine fast enough to cause any problems, but don't force anything once it feels snug.
