My first Video. Starting a cold engine (on a hot day).

http://youtu.be/dUeC5gLgjlE

This seems to be the norm for me. After a few minutes it smooths out and runs nicely.
Can we Dx anything from the video?

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

[Edit] adding basic info.
76 stock D-jet.
EGR and air injection are long gone.
New vac. hoses, points, rotor, cap, plugs.
Dwell and timing set.
Valves adjusted.

points, plugs, timing and valves.

Valves might be to tight.
Sounds like one cylinder is fighting you on the first time you try to start it.

Points, plugs & cap are new.
Timing and dwell were done and redone.
valves set before engine install and checked two weeks ago after a little bit of "around the block" driving.

#2 gave me some trouble at first but a new injector helped that.

It does sound like it's running on 2-3 cylinders at first.

FYI: I don't touch the gas during the video.
