My thanks to: Norm Nock, Krith Pennel, Blue 100, Ron Fine, Bruce Hurley, Ken 
Freeze, Roland Wilihelmy, Steve Rizzo, Dave Ward, and Healey Guy !!
The hard starting appeared to be in the choke area.  Pulling full choke on then 
checking each carb to see if it really was fully choked proved IT REALLY 
WASN'T.  For some reason there was just a small amount more to go.  Before 
pulling the cables up that little bit I checked from the carbs up to the "yoke" 
and then under the dash to the knob. Didn't discover anything odd.  Maybe it 
was "cable stretch" over time.  Through the battery in, full choke, hit the key 
and viola we had lift off.  Ran strong and smooth at 1/2 choke and then fine 
with no choke.  
Thanks for all the hints.  I have a longer list now.
Regards to all.
