Venn, how does it start from cold if you have been running it the day before?
My Ruby takes a lot of cranking if it's not been used for a few days. I find that hand priming the petrol pump until the carb drips is a big help. I find that a teaspoon full of petrol poured straight into the air intake gives instant starting from cold.
My 1955 Austin Cambridge behaves the same. From cold it starts on about the fifth attempt. With a spoonful of petrol in the air intake it starts instantly.
