That's what I have felt like doing many times to a talon Norm - trying to adjust things like the governor with that bloody cowl in place. I now have a old piece of starter rope with 20 knots in the end as a handle. I warm the engine up, then remove the cowl and I wrap the rope around the starter cup and pull start it that way.
I don't have a starter handle on the rope as one time the end snagged up on the mesh flywheel cover, snatched the rope back in, wrapped it around and flung the handle round full bore until the handle hit something and broke
