Pull starting a blockzilla?

[that guy]

Ok its been a while since ive been on the forum but just got back into little motors. Ive a got a bz3 thats been layin around after it kicked a rod and about to put it back together and on a minibike. It doesnt have a tight quench and the compression is there but not tremendously high. Ill be running a stock crank with a 112 alt with the motor on methanol. If I keep the timing down a bit, does anyone think its feasible to pull start it?

what happens with the high compression and timing that is not good for pull starting? just rip out of your hand?

At the best . pull muscles, break fingers, sprain hand ,could knock a tooth out.
it can be done , not for the weak of heart, you gotta be serious about it
mine caught me off guard could not hardly pick anything up for a couple weeks , ordered starter that week.
