i'd bring them to 1.0 and see if that helps. also check your ignition timing.

Having them set propely might help you to get the best Hp but regarding your hard starting, what kinda oil are you using and have you checked the Cam gears to see if they have slipped?

edit: I see that you use M1 5/30

Put the key in II and wait for the fuel pump to prime before starting and see if that helps.
