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.
