Cold start problems

My 82 SC has severe cold start problems. I need to lift the air plate for a few seconds to get gas to it. Then it's rough till it warms up. When the engine warms up, it runs great.

I did an air leak test. I found a cracked air box and replaced it. I found leaks around the injectors and replaced the rubber donuts.

I just did the pressure test. These are the results:

I seem calm but this is driving me nuts

1. Year of engine: 1982
2. US or RoW (Rest of World): US
3. WUR model number: don't know
4. Ambient temperature at time of test (in degrees C): 76F / 25C
5. WUR Resistance (in Ohms): 9.1
6. System Pressure (in bars): 5 bar / 72 psig
7. Cold Control Pressure (in bars): 2.3 bar / 34 psig
8. Warm Control Pressure (in bars): 3.4 bar / 49 psig
9. Time delta for Cold -> Warm Control Pressure (in minutes & seconds): 50 seconds
10. Residual Pressure @ 5 min (in bars): 1.8 bar / 26 psig
11. Residual Pressure @ 15 min (in bars): 1.6 bar / 23.5 psig
12. Residual Pressure @ 30 min (in bars): 1.5 bar / 22 psig
13. Residual Pressure @ 60 min (in bars): 1.45 bar / 21 psig
