The blue crank in the picture is for cranking the other direction.
My diagram was incorrect, and should be reversed for the atomic 4 that has a right hand rotation. The notch should be to the left of the vertical cut.
The Atomic rotates right if standing behind it.

An electric disk grinder can make it in a few minutes. If the socket fits onto the crankshaft nut loosely, all the better.

Open the throttle a little more than usual.
Rotate the crankshaft pulley three revolutions and stop when you to get the beginning of a compression stroke.
Turn on the key.
Quickly rotate the crankshaft a half turn to go past the top of the compression stroke.
If that piston fires, the engine should start, and the socket will fall off.

I've started a few airplanes that way, but he propeller would give me a greater leverage pulling it.
