Are you hand flipping it or using an electric starter? If you master the backflip method, you'll almost never cut your fingers or get your knuckles whacked.. If you watched the video I linked to a few posts back, you'll see how I basically whacked the prop with my finger backwards (clockwise) and the engine fired... That is my preferred method although I do use a starter from time to time. The trick to the backflip working is having the engine primed just right. Usually 2-3 flips with the carb plugged (with a finger) and set to idle is usually enough (once fuel is at the carb).
