A fluidic starter for turbines using a flow limiter (20) and a mechanical valve (32) that is maintained closed until an operator moves a handle to provide fluid which has passed through the flow limiter to a starter motor (16) mechanically connected to the turbine. The handle is latched so the valve is open until the turbine is started then the handle is unlatched and the valve closes.
