Abstract: An apparatus and method for starting an engine comprising a frame and an internal combustion engine operatively mounted to the frame. A control member is operatively connected to the frame, wherein the control member has an activated position and a deactivated position. The control member is adapted to complete an engine circuit when in the activated position. An energy storage medium is operatively associated with the engine such that release of energy stored in the energy storage medium turns the engine and facilitates its starting. A starting assembly is utilized to release the stored energy in the energy storage medium. An operator must utilize two separate and distinct actions, activating the control member and activating the starting assembly, to restart the internal combustion engine.
