Default Trouble Starting SK90 Engine

I just recently purchased a plane from a guy and it has the SK90 two stroke engine on it. I filled the tank and began to prime the engine by holding my finger over the pipe and then tried to start. I am using my finger (chicken stick) to start. I was wondering if this engine is unable to be started by hand or do I need to purchase a electric starter. Well after trying a couple times my arm hurt and I noticed a little puddle of fuel on the ground under the pipe. Is the tank and or some lines screwed up or did I just flood the crap out of it. Please help I am wanting to get this started. Also what type of fuel do you suggest to run in this engine. Well yah I am a beginner sorry for all the questions. Thanks for the time and hope hearing from you.
