Yep, if the button is down, the pawl [just a little 'finger' that engages a ratchet; not exposed on a F4 mag like an E4] will engage at the beginning of the stroke, and the mag [from the output end that is, the end you turn still does; if on a bench you'll be able to turn it with some leverage and feel the spring resistance building up] won't turn until the top of the stroke [every half crank], when it releases with a very audible click: giving the mag a quick spin for [now a real mag expert will give better reasoning :oops: ] the coil as well a clean break at the points.
The button should not push itself up, and if the tractor doesn't start the pawl should reingage [without pushing the button again].
