Had one about 20 years ago, and it was old when I got it, so it must have been one of the first with the pump bulb on the carb instead of a choke.
I discovered the same starting method you used, turn it on it's side for about 10 seconds, pump the bulb about 30-40 times, it would start first pull! LOL
I never could get it to do any better, but never really tried too hard, hated that rock slinging thing!

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
