the initial pulls must wind up a coil spring, sounds very good,
mowers should have them.

On some more recent B&S engines you only need to manually wind the
spring the first time you start the engine(*) after that the engine
winds it back up.

(*) Or if the thing doesn't start...

As for ladies pull starting the other half can do the lawn mower (4
stroke, will fire very easyly even when cold) but not the strimmer (2
stroke, from cold needs the best part of a dozen brisk pulls and
fiddling with choke etc)
