I took out a yomamamaha set and installed an Onan in our 'giant boom box' some decades ago. It always started on about the second spin. I bought several others over the years, ending up with the belt drivwe replacement which used a V-twin OHV engine to make the EPA happy.
Only hard statrts I've even seen are RV sets. This leads to the conclusion that they're getting too hot on shutdown and boiling off their gas, or there's some other compromise in the fuel feed. The primer switch usually cures the symptom, but doesn't address the problem. A working choke, tight lines, and a working fuel pump and they should spi8n right off after a few revolutions on the starter.
