Some engines will accept an electric starter.
Starting fluid should make it easier to fire up.
If it only runs with the choke on, then the carburator probably will need to be disassembled and cleaned of gummed up gas.
An extra tank would be needed for longer run times.

You asked about doing something so you wouldn't have to pull the rope; I recommend you check out U-Tube for gas engines started with a drill, might help. Ron
