Save yourself some money and learn to start the engine using the chicken stick.
I do not know if your engine is a two-stroke or a four-stroke, but the techniques are similar.

The key to hand starting an engine is proper priming of the engine.

Two-stroke engine starting: Open the throttle fully, cover the carb intake with your finger and turn the propeller over until you can see fuel being drawn into the carurettor. While still covering the carb intake, turn the engine over three to four more turns to prime the engine. Now flip the propeller vigourosly a couple of times to distribute the fuel that has been drawn into the engine. Close the throttle to slightly above idle and connect the glow plug igniter. Smartly flick the propeller in the correct running directions and your engine should start or at least fire. If it does not, prime the engine again. An engine that is warm does not usually require priming, simply start it by smartly flicking the propeller a couple of times.

Four-stroke engines are started in a similar manner. Presuming you use muffler pressure you can prime the engine by turning the engine over a 3-5 turns while covering the exhaust with your finger (throttle fully open). Uncover the exhaust and flick the propeller a couple of times to distribute the fuel. Close the throttle to slightly above idle, connect the glow plug igniter and using the chicken stick, bump the propeller backwards aginst compression. This usually causes the engine to fire and start running in the correct direction.

The above procedures should work for the majority sport-type engines. Large capacity two strokes can often be started the same way I start my four-stroke engines, i.e., by bumping the propeller backwards against compression.
