The spark lever is fully advanced (all the way down) during startup. The start up routine is: advance spark level to the fully-down position, one hand on the throttle and one on the choke, depress the ignition. If it doesn't kick in right away then give one short pull on the choke and feather the throttle just a bit. That works every time...up until recently.

Spark advance lever all the way down (advanced) is where it runs best and, honestly, we've only ever used the spark advance either all the way up for idling or all the way down for driving.
