I don't know much about hand crank starting, but it sounds like you're putting too much fuel in when you prime it. 3 tablespoons is an awful lot of fuel.

I may show my ignorance here but, does the carburetor have a choke? Rather than spooning fuel in, you might want to set the choke for a couple of pulls to prime the engine with a proper amount of atomized fuel that will fire off much more readily.

When I start the old chain saw, I set the choke and pull until it pops, then release the choke. It always starts and runs on the next pull. That might work for you here, as I've watched a few videos of people hand-starting tractors, and they do the same thing.
