Information needed
From the turn of the key/push of the start button, how long does it usually take to start your engine following a typical layoff (not over winter)?

Fuel run out - but primed before start and cold - say overnight - maybe 20-30 seconds. |

Same as most here. If it has been started in the past several hours, it fires up 1st try, in 3 or 4 seconds. Normal starts, 3rd or 4th try of 5-10 second bursts.

Summer time "cold" - one or two cranks 5-10 seconds
Winter time "cold" - two or three cranks 5 - 10 seconds Warm - 1-2 seconds. |

In the summer, three tries, each try consisting of about 5 seconds of cranking followed by 5-10 seconds of waiting. First try does nothing but crank. Second try coughs once or twice. Third try starts right up.

I just cranked mine after a four week layoff and it started after a second or two. That's pretty typical. (Full choke, throttle off the stop.)
