Forgot to add : Hard start is only with engine cold. If I stall at an intersection (which happens, because the stupid automatic clutch cable is way out of adjustment) then it starts right up. This furthers the suspicion of a fuel system issue (lack of pressure?), but then, maybe I'm just thinking the old-fashioned way...
