I should be hopping in, no feet on pedals, push the button twice .. .Then clutch in and fire up . .then engine is primed , as the non start days I put down to a little back draining in the fuel system thus lack of fuel
Just like I do with a car with a key , turn on for a few sec's before firing up ..
My 1st car with no key start

In typical use, there is no need to force a prime cycle before starting. Just hop in, clutch down, press button once; and you're off. It wasnt meant to be something people had to consciously do before starting the engine. A healthy fuel system will reach operating pressure in an INSTANT, quicker than the starter can have the crankshaft making meaningful revolutions.
