K161 runs clockwise?
I have a k161 on my shop floor, I believe it was in a Cub Original. It is rope start, and I want to see if it will run but I'm not sure which way to wind the rope. Looking at the blower housing I think it would go clockwise, is that right?

Yes if looking at blower housing engine spins clockwise

My clocks digital...

There is only one way you can wind the rope..... that's not hard to figure out.:Forgot:

I was intrigued by this thread regarding something so seemingly obvious. I found the Operator's Manual in the technical library and saw the electric start models has this odd little plate with the two notches that the OP is showing. Perhaps this is a backup method if the electric start fails. Manual start models for the "O" has the typical rope start assembly mounted to the the blower housing.

Rope start or recoil start k161s for the O have a Fairbanks Morse recoil assembly on them. Looks like you just have the normal k161 O drive pulley that drives the driveshaft via a belt. Do a starter generator come with it? I'm assuming you want to start it to see if it runs before you sell it?

Don't work that way, it uses the center of the pulley to engage the dogs on the recoil.
