There a twat to start.... When reversing the back wheel cut outs dig into the s**t..... Very heavy and a pita to load in a trailer without a digger.... Yeah nah.
Piece of pi** to start, but you do have to do it 100% the right and only way. I often start mine for others to use on jobs as its easier than replacing string or them spannering themselves.
Wheel cut outs are a pita but just wack everything forwards first.

Didn't need to pull it out much tbf once had the compression right
No but its different from starting a petrol where you pull as fast and you can to spin the engine over as fast as you can. Once you got the right point to pull from its a case of momentum doing the job. You don't need to rive the string out and you're shoulder with it just enough speed to get past compression when it comes.

Yes definitely not like a petrol start
