You are dealing with over 50 years old Technology! Sometimes we are so use to modern fuel injection that when we drive a old car we forget how they run and react differently! The fuels,tires and etc.. are different! I have been driving my Post GS with no power steering! What a bear my forearms and elbows are screaming but are getting stronger ! Lol But I love It! Running it through the gears and smashing it to the mat!

I removed the heat riser valve back in the 70s and I still have the issue of the carb going dry and requiring pumping. I kept the valve but never felt to install in again.

Some other things to consider and check that would cause hard starting or rough running would be sending unit, fuel pump and accelerator pump in carb! I had one car that didnt seem to run like it should even though I checked the fuel pump etc.. I thought the fuel pump was working properly ,but it was actually weak  not the right volume or pressure! Once changed out car ran and started like it should!
