No, No, No, what you are _really_ doing is Becoming One With Your LBC.

Robert, I've got a similar setup as you have, and know just what you're talking
about. Award-winning cold starts, but then...
Although it seems yours are much worse (or I _am_ the insensitive slob I've
been accused of..) than mine, I've found that pumping the gas once immediately
before cranking, and twice while cranking results in much quicker starts.
I had the exact same problem with a Chrysler slant-six engine, apparently the
carb was a little to far away from the cylinders. The #1 and #6 manifold
runners were over a foot long each, and fuel would drop out of suspension in
the manifold, making starts more difficult. When cold, the choke compensates,
and it's not a problem.
BTW, did the heat shield have any effect? I've been told that SU's need lots of
heat shielding, but Webers like to run hot.
