An electric starter that rocks the engine - does not rotate it?

The yamaha 200 would start backwards if the timing was out! My old boss found out the hard way after one would only start with a bump!

In the 1980s I had  a flatmate and one morning she kicked the starter and it went backwards,  :o it did that a few more times too. Apparently they were notorious for it.

.I've been trying to remember what the starter motor sounded like when you pressed down on the large T shaped ignition key. It was iirc a sort of strange heavy rumbling noise - apparently many of the scooters offered for sale do not have a working "Pendulum" starter system. There is no kickstart so I guess they must bump start them - not easy unless you live at the top of a hill as they are quite  heavy at 146Kg.

Found a video of the Pendulum starter working.
