Hey Scott,
 
Because the engine runs fine after it starts, I agree with another post  that 
your carb linkage may not be set correctly to crack the throttle plates  open 
a bit from the fast idle cam on each carb.  It's easy to  check.....if you 
have a helper, have the person pull the choke out while you  watch the linkage 
- 
look for the tang on the linkage to contact the fast idle  cam and move the 
cam along a bit which should crack the throttle plates open  enough to get the 
mixture into the manifold.
