So pulling the lever retards the ignition - tight wire retard and therefore slack wire advance. The best way. Cable failing to fully advanced is better than failing to fully retarded.

Many thanks Gordon.So I have slack wire advance,this now explains why my leg gets thrown in the air when starting with the lever in the wrong position.
Best Regards
