number of flips...

Depends on if the engine is a Mintor

My Mintor started and ran great.

It all depends on if I remember to turn on the ignition or not.

On my 3 DA50's are about the same. First start of the day 6 or so on the choke till it pops than 3 or 4 with it off. They usually start on the first flip the rest of the day.
My GP61 most of the time wont pop on the choke so it's more challenging, but I usually do 4 with the choke on then it starts in another 4 or so with it off.

+1 on the dle 111

I found way to get it started after is sits for a while without your arm falling off, get a bubble syringe to put in your tool kit. If it has set for a while and you know it's gonna take forever, squirt a little fuel in the carb with the syringe. When it pops and burns the prime up it will draw fuel faster than flipping by hand... Saves your arm too

DA 120 first start like others subsequent starts 1 0r 2 flips no choking.
EME 60 same as above.
DLE 55 same as above.
DLE 111 same as above.
DA 70 ??? probably same as above. have not ran it yet.
Now how many flip off's I get once my back is turned......????? probably many.
How many I give??? NONE.

Never run em dry always keep fuel line to carb full of fuel (Large volume filters always full too)
