Thanks for all the replies. I'm sorry, I feel like I wasted everyone’s time because I didn't mention the fact that the carb is only 3 few months old (Edelborck performer 650). The cap and rotor, fuel lines, and mani also new. I will see about getting a new fuel pump to see if that will help. Some of the other things as in the timing, vacuum advance, vacuum leaks will have to until I return to the states in OCT. to have it checked. I have to put off too much new stuff and work until I return. I am putting out too muck money in the next few months for paint and new interior (Italian leather). The new interior is getting put in as I type. I will post pic’s when the car returns. By the way the fuel pump and distributer are original.

Now when I start it in the morning I pump the gas about 3 or 4 times then turn the key. It gives a rararara and like a cough as if it is going to start. It will do that a few times then I stop and repeat the pumping and start again. Then it will start after the third time. It idles high for about 5 sec and then idle low. I give it a little gas and then it is good to go. Once it is warmed up I can turn it off for up to 30 min and it will start right up. After I drive it and come back to start it, it doesn't matter if it is 5 or 25 min I have to give it gas to start. It doesn't take as long but it isn't turn the key and start.
