It's just hard to start after it sits for any period of time, even overnight.
What would be a good path to go down to get this thing starting in a reasonable amount of pulls where I don't hafta wear my arm out every time I want to use the thing?

If you are pulling the rope and it is
not turning over, you have a problem with your recoil assembly. Check that as it is prolly your problem.
If you are using a confusing description/term of
"turning over" and it
is turning over but not starting or at least attempting to start, then that is an entirely different situation.
Are you using the prime bulb? those engines need 5-6 plunges of the bulb or more.
if you are doing that,and it is still difficult to start,then inspect the bulb/line to see if it is ruptured/ damaged or not functining properly.
report back.
