Artouste II C-6 starting problem

My Alouette II had been sitting awhile whilst being painted and now doesn't want to complete the start cycle. Starter turns, green light, yellow light, T-4 rise about to 100*, RPM 7000 but doesn't reach self sustaining speed prior to about 15 seconds then I go to "Off". The fuel cock cycles correctly and both spark and atomization of the ignitors are good. the book says check the idle fuel valve on the fuel pump. Wondering if there are any other tricks I should try prior to pulling the pump.
