I don't know whether it's modern petrol or what, but I find that both of my Austins (1934 Ruby and 1955 Cambridge) both need a bit of extra petrol to help them start unless they were running yesterday.

I have a small squirty bottle with petrol in, a squirt into the air intake, full choke, and they start almost instantly.

To save opening the bonnet, I now do this with the seven...
Ignition off, full choke, spin it on the handle as fast as I can for as long as I can. Ignition on, then it starts immediately.
