#1 Son has a '36 F-12. We have an original owners manual for an F-14. In the directions for starting, it says to spin the engine rapidly 3 or 4 revolutions with choke on & mag off, to prime the carb. Then it says to set choke to 1/4, mag to 1/4 (to prevent a kick) & governor control to 1/4 and then use quarter turns until it starts. Following these directions, it will start on the first 1/4 pull of the crank about 90% of the time, the other 10% will take 2-3 pulls.

If you pull it when its hot, it'll start within 5'. I think it just gets tired & wants to make you feel the same way! (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
