Your prop. needs to be on compression when horizontal - when flying, if motor stops, prop. vertical, you might damage the crankshaft. Glad you got it running. Chris.
Depends what you want to do with it. Just run it? A teststand. The one I have is quite sophisticated and was made by PSP in the US. Unfortunately, the stopped making them and the accessories a while ago. I have it because it's easy to strap various engines onto it. If you have a single engine, you can just take a sturdy board of plywood (would NOT go under at least 10mm, more is better), make a notch in it, drill the hole pattern for the engine and mount it SECURELY to a bench. My chair here is not an ideal solution AT ALL. A fuel tank. Just use a readily available RC airplane tank, it's centerline should be at the height of the carburetor jet. A glowplug source. I use the classic lead-acid battery with a resistor and cable, but a power panel is fine, too. And, for safety and convinience, an electric starter. A well run in engine can usually be started by hand quite easily, but some risk remains. And of course various wrenches and screwdrivers.
I ran a K&B .40 in my Super Kaos RC plane back in 1978. Good engine. Also ran it in Quickee 500 R/C pylon racing.

Uhnn.. almost !!
Love this engine!
I have a new one!
Well .. I HAD one ;) Now I have a very slightly used one in my display case.
What are all of the parts and tools you need for it as a beginner

Loos like you have a large air bubble in the line. After 5 mins of no starts he uses an electric start. LOL.
My 3 year old starts engines better
Brand new engine with not yet broken in Dykes ring, just didn't have the compression with hand starting. Started easier after some run time.
