Won't start cold without either.After running few min. starts right away & runs good.Wondering if fuel pump is weak?

Sounds more like a compression issue, or possibly the choke isn't sealing like it should. If it runs once it starts then the fuel pump should be fine.

I had the same issue in cold weather until I realized there was just a tad more choke that could be had by tugging a little harder on the cable. It would seem to be
almost no difference, but it is the difference between starting in cold weather and not. I guess when the weather warms I will adjust the cable.

Mine was hard to cold start, needed ether at 50 degrees. The points were worn to almost nothing. New set of Blue Streaks and it's been great.
