If the engine turns over at anything close to a "normal" speed then the battery is strong enough and not the problem. You can prime the engine by operating the flipper on the lift pump or by holding the decompression levers while running the starter.
The decompression levers are also a way to pre-lube the engine after a long absence, get the engine to start on weak batteries, and also to shut the engine down in an emergency.
