The starting-Issue only really appears when it is cold outside and the engine is cold aswell.
As soon as the engine is warm, starting is not an issue. It fires right up after like 2 cranks max.

But your tip with the extra ground strap is great! I will take this into consideration and maybe also get one for it. Thanks for the link to the other thread!

When it comes to the red lettering it seems that nearly everyone has this issue so i won't worry too much about it

I just uploaded a short YT-Video of the engine running in idle. Maybe you guys can hear what I mean, it's a rather sharp metallic clicking noise. Maybe you guys could just compare the Idle of mine to yours.

Cold cranking takes longer by design, my guess is it's set up to make sure adequate lubrication is achieved before turning spark on. I saw this table in another thread, see how these numbers may apply in your case.

The clicking noise doesn't sound excessive to me and feels like normal DI noise, but I'll let the real experts chime in.

Don't forget to always put good gas in
