This is what works for me.

Glow plug disconnected
Full throttle
While covering exhaust ****t hand crank 4 or 5 times or until it feels
slightly wet. You should notice a bit of raw fuel on the finger tip
covering the exhaust.
Set to idle
Connect glow
While firmly grasping the prop turn over several times. You should
feel it kick at TDC.
Using a chicken stick give it a solid flip. It should fire and start
immediatly.

There are only 3 things to add to the above.

1.  You may see fuel spray out of the carb and that is a good indicator 
there is a fuel charge in the engine.
2.  I turn the engine backwards until I get to compression then I hook up 
the glow driver and then take the throttle back to idle which give the
plug 
time to heat up.
3.  I use a chicken stick to give the prop a good stroke in the clockwise 
direction and they almost always start.
