If a hot fourstroke won't start easy there is something wrong with it.

There are also mechancial start systems about. The running engine winds up
a spring, when the engine is stopped pressing a button/lever releases the
spring which turns the engine. I'm rather wary of spring based energy
storage systems, they have a tendancy to bite and bite hard if you are not
careful during maintenance operations. BTDTGTTS and only with tiny springs
let alone one with enough umph to turn an engine...
