Not sure I can explain why, after it gets going, it's fine for the rest of the summer, and may not need any more of it for a couple of years.  Maybe I get some gelling of fuel in the pump. But once it fires, it will warm up and then work fine.  Now we are talking COLD here, as I live in central Canada.
