Lubrication could be part of it....a washed down cylinder will lose some of it's compression. Could also be that it is starting to start.

If you want to find you, disconnect your coil or leave the ignition switch off, and try the gas trick. If it goes faster with the gas, it's the cylinders washing down. If it does not, then it may well be the ignition of the fuel.

My engine on cranking really slows down when gas gets into the cylinders.

That's because your carrier is a left hand one. Mine is right hand...

Just noting that Jordan's carrier's fuel-in-the-carb reacts opposite to mine. Like left hand threads turn opposite to right hand ones and summer is winter in Australia.

OK, I'll never try a joke again.

A good, noble, wholesome thing.

It will save everyone from hearing me tell the one about those three guys that went into a bar.
