If you spin it faster to limit leakage time, or give it spritz or WD-4 in each inlet. You get good compression for a few revolutions, and that gets enough heat into the chambers to vaporize some fuel. I have squirted engine oil, and a 1/4 cup of hot coffee into each runner in cold weather to get a start. It has never failed to work. But I have two MSDs to light things up. The smoke cloud is impressive. Lynn E. Hanover
