Slight kick back on the starting handle
#1
I recently had occasion to to remove  the distributor on my Ruby which obviously meant I had to re time the ignition. This I did  using the 1/4 marking on the flywheel to establish TDC on no1 cylinder. Then  adjusted the dizzy with the aid of a bulb fixed between the low tension  and Earth. I started the engine then fine tuned things by ear until the engine ran and sounded smooth. The car now runs and starts well however when starting on the handle  there is quite a kick back from compression not because the engine has fired. This is until you get past TDC.   IS  THIS  NORMAL.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
