If you intend to use the electric start, your priority is to learn how to start AND stop the engine. The sprag clutch is a time-bomb just waiting to go off if you mis-treat it in any way. You want to avoid damaging it because it will be expensive to replace. So to avoid breaking the sprag, the engine must not be allowed to rotate backwards. This can happen due to the engine kicking back when starting, either due to a half-hearted prod on the kickstarter or starting the kicking process at the wrong point in the combustion cycle. Or, if using the electric start with a weak battery. Or, if using the electric start without first getting the piston just over TDC, so as to help the starter motor get a 'run-up' at spinning the motor before it hits compression ( I use the valve lifter to keep the valve open while the motor spins a few cycles and then release the lifter and it should fire up).
Also keep the carb from getting too lean in the winter which can cause harder starting.
When it comes to stopping the motor, always use the valve lifter to kill the engine, and THEN switch off the ignition. NEVER stop the motor with just the kill switch or ignition key. Doing so can cause a slight 'bounce-back' when the piston hits compression - putting the sprag at risk. For the same reason, also avoid the engine stalling due to too slow a tick over at idle. Here endeth the first lesson.
