You need to get the carb hot.
Like when you shut it down and it heat soaks.

I'll take your word for it Geezer. I always figured a leak was a leak. I can literally watch the fuel boil in my clear fuel filter in hot weather. I'm sure it is doing the same thing inside the carb and that is helping the evaporation process.
I used to give my plow truck a shot of gas to start it so I wouldn't wear out my starter. Then I spun a bearing and figured it is better to turn the starter and let the oil pressure build before it starts. Having the truck fire up instantly before it had oil pressure probably wasn't good for my crank bearings. I haven't timed it but in around 5-8 seconds of cranking I have oil pressure and fuel in the fuel filter/carb. The rest of the day it starts in 1 second. Those gear reduction starter really whirl the engine a lot faster too.
