All this depends on the initial timing, engine condition and the like.

So the statement or start with it up then pull if all the way down is not correct.

This is from the owners manual;
Yup, I aware of that, I just wanted to be clear that I understood his issue through the typos.

Seems he needs to do a bit of homework and check his timing if the the answer to my question is yes, and learn a bit more about the car. Lots of threads here with details on timing for him.

This video is worth a thousand posts!

Procure a copy of the owners manual is also a great start, and Post some pictures. Oh, and welcome!
