My first thought is that the low speed needle may not be open enough. About 5/8ths of a turn from gently closed. The high speed needle should be open about 3/4 of a turn.
On my HD-25, it takes a little while to get it started when it is cold. I pump the primer about 6 times, give the cord one yank. Then another press on the primer and another yank. It will usually pop, and then I hit the primer button two or three times. It usually goes after that.
