SOme how there is a position where it opens valves and lets the engine spin free of compression... Pull the lever and then the intake and fuel metering valve starts to work...

It works pretty much like your new hemi.... Minus the blower....
Awwww, ok! That make sense! Like a compression release on a four stroke when you release it to start the compression cycle?
