Look into whatever the 7A uses for a cold start system - Bet that's what it is. I know the 3S uses a cold start injector and it'll do that if it's out.
It's not gonna be your fuel filter if your running smooth otherwise but you should change it anyway if it hasn't been done recently. With all the other work you've done do that, get a fuel system treatment done and you ought to be runnin smooth as silk. Hope this helps

Sounds like he's saying it will ignite and then immediately die to me. Wouldn't be the starter then.
