Gonna bet you're on Propane.

Mine wanted full throttle and full choke. Little primer button on the side of the fuel pump/vaporizer. Once the engine is rolling over. hold that button down till it hits.

As soon as it lights off, get the choke off and rpm's down to 1000ish. Let her sit for a couple minutes to get things lubed up and stabilized. The rock the steering trick would help too but you just ran outta hands (one on button, one on key).

I really liked the LP for winter starting as once you had the process down, it was a very reliable starter.

Same starting process in the warmer periods. Just didn't use the liquid prime.
