Depends what magneto module it has. I have read a few times that the PHELON magneto modules do not make a very hot spark. My Poulan 25cc (1st conversion attempt) has the Phelon module, and after MANY attempts (~50 flips?), I was able to start it by hand. Once it warmed up, it started with 1 or 2 flips.
