Carbs and Poor starting
Discussion

Valves generally tend to hammer down and get tight, rather than loosen up, so if you have tight valves on startup you will be losing compression, which is a common cause of hard starting.
Once fired the valves heat up, grow a little in length and stay sealed for a while.
Valves growing in length makes the clearances tighter rather than looser. If you are losing compression when cold you'd be losing even more when hot.Once fired the valves heat up, grow a little in length and stay sealed for a while.
