So, here's the question - I have to crank it for a bit and hit the throttle for it to start when it's warmed up. But, barely turn the key when it's cold and it starts right up. It's not a big deal but doesn't seem right.

Any ideas on what I should look for first???
Could be just a little heat soak in the TPI system. Yes, TPI systems, it does happen. My TPI/highly modified system does that a little as well. If you wanted too, you could try more spark in the initial timing on the chip and throw a little more fuel during startup if you are able to tune it. Other than that, you can't do much except for check TPS voltage, etc.
