Put the clutch in, shift out of second, then wait until you hear the engine settling down, and then put it in third and let out the clutch. Kind of like shifting in slow motion. Maybe two seconds, maybe three.

This works the best for me, I would like to add that these little engines have so much low RPM torque I start out in 2nd gear when on the flat, down hill and even slight uphill - It will go.
