Piet, correct me if I am wrong, please, but if you leave the clutch lever alone, at least the main-gear-shaft gets turned with the engine and delivers resistance - no? So - theoretically, if you pull the clutch lever, you separate the gearbox from the engine, which will reduce the restriction, right? Might not be much, but my personal feeling is it starts better if you pull the clutch lever (if it separates).
