How many cranks to start your SC430?
We recently bought an '07 with 11K miles on it. Right away one of the first things I noticed compared to our SC400 is that it takes more turns of the engine on the starter before it fires up.
That may not be saying much as the SC400 was always lightening quick. I mean it would fire up on the first rotation so you never had to turn the key and hold it in start for any length of time. Simply turning it all the way to start and then letting go was good enough.
The SC430 turns just as quickly. We did have to buy a new battery when we first got it. It's not a starter issue. But we have to hold it in the start position for about a second before it fires up. It could be normal or it might not be. I looked at lots of other SCs before buying this one but honestly I don't think I noticed how long it took to start them.
I don't thin there's really anything wrong. I guess it's just the comparison with the predecessor model.

It appears that it takes 2 cycles in less than a second. Not the traditional 1 cycle.
