Same problem here. Mine sometimes does the following,
"start, start, knock, engine doesn't start"
then it goes like this if I try to start it after it has knocked
"start, knock, knock, knock, vrooom, vrooom"
Any more ideas?

To me, it sounds like it knocks when it first makes ignition. So it isn't when the flywheel is first engage by the starter, and it isn't once it has hit idle.
It only makes a knocking sound when it's burning up all the accumulated fuel.
Doesn't seem to be hurting anything, or get worse, but it's sorta annoying.
