I had my dual SU HS2 carbs rebuilt for my 1275.  The car RUNS great, but 
starting first thing in the morning is painful.  Am I doing something wrong?  I 
have an electric fuel pump....do I need to wait a certain amount of time before 
trying to start it in the morning?  This only happens when it's cold.  It takes 
about 8-10 tries to get it started.  Starting afterward is fine.  This may 
sound stupid, but is there a process for this?  

1. Pull choke out
2. Turn key to start fuel pump
3. Wait about 30 seconds
4. Depress gas pedal a couple of times
5. Crank, crank, crank, crank, crank......sputter sputter, start.
