"Dan and netters
It would be very easy to wire a primer solenoid into the starter circuit for 
use only while starting."

Here are some additional thoughts after Brian's post between Dan and I:
start of fuel flow.  As a quick fix I would add a single primer injector just 
AFTER the carb, and only shoot fuel after the engine is spinning. If it fogs 
the mist then it will work just fine.

With a split intake, installing the primer injector at each port is obviously 
the best spot for nearly direct injection.  But, since you are not running the 
engine off this injector, but merely wanting fuel fumes to be there to prime 
the engine so that it will start, the injector would be easier to install, and 
work just as well at the runner junction prior to the split into to two 
runners.  This makes it easier to plumb since there are only 2 injectors 
instead of 4, less to go wrong, and still close enough to get basically instant 
engine response.  As Mark L. pointed out, you could also actually use it to run 
the engine if something clogged the carb.

I would wire it up so that you select the primer before starting, and then it 
activates when pressing the starter button.  In a separate location would be a 
separate switch that can activate the primer by itself, maybe near the master 
switch.  By needing to use the separate primer activation switch, you make a 
hot start better, because it should not need priming, (hopefully).  During cold 
starts you use it, and separate switch allows for emergency use, or if prime is 
not enough with engine spinning, if really cold out, say 30-40 degrees and you 
need a few seconds of prime by itself first.

That would be my take on it, and the way I would begin to solve this issue...
