Standard equipment for most farmers. BTW they start this with a hand crank. Seems like a good company to invest in, let's see, there are 800 million people in the central and northern provinces and half of them are farmers. But five will get you ten the company is run by the P.L.A. [Peoples Liberation Army] and there will be no outside investors allowed to participate.These folks are into everything.

Sorry, I digress.

So I am guessing this won't ring your bell in the power dept, correct?

Correct. Yours neither (a 511?? Yee-ikes)
Believe it or not John, I have experience with similar gadgets (Howard Gem Rotavators) and handcranking a big single cylinder engine is a real lottery unless you do it right. Get the magneto setting wrong and it breaks your arm.
Cheers,
