Surprised me as well. When I first bought the car, I drained the battery trying to start the car as it required a precise balance between choke, throttle, etc to get it to fire off. Eventually I figured out the required dance and could get it fired first crank.

Speculation says hotter spark and faster cranking is responsible. That's what I'm leaning towards. I completed the upgrade over the winter so warmer weather wasn't around to help.
