I always find it difficult to pull on the rope and observe the plug tip when checking for spark (bifocals).
It takes a little more time but I remove the starter housing and chuck up the appropiate socket in my old electric impact wrench and spin the flywheel with it. Backwards or forewards makes no difference if you're worried about inadvertantly removing the flywheel nut.
I bet a large variable speed drill motor would also work.
