Default RE: Engine Start by bouncing off the compression stroke?

I don't have a starter . Me and my friend only uses chicken sticks. My ASP 46 started correctly almost first turn everytime or either then the second and sometimes the third (barely). The ASP 61 I have now seems to start on the second throw. I just prime and hope for the best, but it seems that a prime my engines just right everytime (someone must be looking after me ).

I have a question though - does a 4 stroke tend too start more difficult than a 2 stroke? Because my friend has a 4 stroke and sometimes I feel so bad for him, because he struggles a lot with it.
