The discussion about primers and Ellison throttle bodies almost had me convinced that I should tear into it again and add some more stuff. However, I've discovered a little trick that might work instead.
The port that senses the vacuum pulses is upstream from the throttle slide and fuel injector. When the throttle is cracked open to a fast idle position, it takes quite a bit of cranking to get enough vacuum past the throttle slide to cause the vacuum port to initiate fuel flow. If the engine is cranked with the throttle about 3/4 open, the fuel delivery is almost immediate. Of course, you must be ready to pull the throttle back as soon as the engine lights.
