Just a thought on hard starting:

Cold - If the engine is cold try priming or low boost or whatever then WAIT
15 to 30 seconds. You are waiting for the fuel in the manifolds to evaporate
into a more combustible (richer) mixture.

This technique can also be used on carbureted engines when using the primer
only. DO NOT pump the throttle (activating the accelerator pump) without
having the engine turning. Doing so invites an induction system fire. I've
seen a Piper Archer burn up. It wasn't pretty.
