gsl se hard cold starts

I've purchased a gsl se with the original fuel injection intact. Although I have plenty of rotary experience, I've not worked with the FI before. The seller started the car by pouring a little fuel in one of the BAC tubes. That's one I haven't seen before. Any idea of what is would take to get it to start normally?

Once started, the car warmed up in the usual FI way, high idle for a few minutes then settled down and idled steady at around 800 rpm.

Thanks for any help.

Update - Happy Ending
A change of spark plugs, some new ignition wires and cleaning up of various circuit contacts resulted in the car flashing to life in less than a second and idling perfectly.

Maybe $375 wasn't too much to pay
