    For what it is worth, I have an RD-13, and while it is in very good condition, it is not the easiest starting of motors when it is cold (although no backfire issue with mine). What I have noticed is that if you really give the flywheel the full amount of rotations that the length of rope in the recoil will allow, it will start up without too many pulls. If you’re doing short pulls, mine is a bear to start.
