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.
