I never use a starter on any of my engines. Granted I only have this engine, a DLE 30 and a DLE 55RA. If they don't start by hand flipping, there is something wrong, and a starter is unlikely to solve the problem.
Flooding 2 Strokes is not as prevalent I find, but too much choke will do it. Doing it on an inverted 4 stroke is much more achievable
