Subject:poor cold start 80 Westy

Just after returning from a 3-nites camp trip (Murphy was a pessimist) we
got a cold start problem. Required endless cranking before firing up.
Checked the cold start valve - fine. Forced the c.s. valve open and it
starts immediately + idles just fine. Closing the valve while engine idles
and it dies. Outside temps in the 90s, i.e. c.s. valve stays closed
normally. Unmetered air ? Any idea welcome.
