Using the compression release to "Quick" start a Vincent Rapide

Giving credit to OKO carbs and Vincent Power Arc ignition (and slight discredit to 70 year old Amal carbs and Lucas magneto) for permitting a fast, easy way of starting my Rapide. It still takes a pretty health boot to light the engine off, but holding the exhaust valves open during most of the starting stroke eliminates a lot of the usual time consuming ritual bumping the piston over TDC before kicking it over, (sometimes numerous times) until the engine starts. This technique is not new, but for it to work it usually takes an engine in very good condition. I wouldn't say mine meets that criterion so the fact it can be started this way really makes me happy.
