Without wanting to complicate things (but doing it anyway) we get a bit of a kickback problem cold with our A65! Each engine has its own idiosyncracies it seems...
I'd endorse the "wind it backwards" routine to weaken the mixture in the pots (just remember to RESET THE THROTTLE before attempting restart), and the addition of an impulse mag as a positive advantage.
Is your prop correctly positioned on the crank for a decent pull through? 10 to 4 (if it was a clock) is about right, ours is currently about 5 to 5 and this doesnt give us the best pull through. In fact, I've found it easier to pull from the bottom, which also enables me to walk away from the prop as I do it...
