D4204T Cold starting problems

When this happens I just turn it off and it goes fine next time around.

I do find I can’t Rev it until it decides whether or not it wants to continue running, once it gets past about 3 seconds of firing up the engine tone changes and I can then Rev it, if I try too early it just dies. Does this sound like throttle issues or is this just the norm when starting?

Typical yes ! it should start from cold just like it starts from warm ....
