could be a number of causes,,can ya give some more info,,how does she act after ya get her fired up,and after ya get her going,does she start good the rest of the day,
 






she revs up real high one time once she turns over..but thats cause i'm hammering the gas, but once i get her running she's fine for the rest of the day. its just that first start
 






could it be a low charge in the battery, and when you push the gas since you have a cable throttle it opens and decreases engine vacuum and makes it easier to crank over
 






IAC valve
