Good video, haven't seen it in a while.
It doesn't appear much has changed in the past 50 years or so and this applies to most things in life.
Right t the two minute markk they hit the nail on the head saying that their research showed that "many if not most" hard starting issues were a direct result of operator error.
Hard starting issues are further compounded today because of how fast this new fuel evaporates in a vented system and in a carburetor sitting on a hot engine after shut-down. So it's not uncommon to find the fuel bowl low or even empty after a few days or sitting.
Even so, fuel should quickly return to a bone dry carburetor within one or two short cranking cycles so the correct starting procedured should still be followed, not the typically pumping the piss out of the accellerator the entire time you are cranking the engine to get fuel back up to the carb.......FWIW......
