So why don't you just rework the pull string ?

Nobody has yet come back with a convincing reason why my idea is not equally practical... though I am not yet convinced enough to simply try it.

Engines tend to be started at slow speeds. IE tick over or less.

Tend to be, yes, but not necessarily so. I have been told of a UPS power system which is basically a damn great big flywheel connected to a big diesel generator.
The flywheel is kept spinning and if the power goes, it simply dumps the clutch and they go from 0-full in an instant. It is quite impressive I am told.

You'd like us to convince you your idea is practical because you're not convinced your self?

There is a risk that it will be an expensive bang, so, I want you to try and convince me that it isn't practical.
Once you have failed thoroughly enough, I will try it...

The choice is yours, you've had opinions convincing or otherwise.

There may be an error of tense in my earlier comment.

I don't think it will go BANG !

Unpleasant burning smells and a little smoke would be my expectation.
