Jeremiah,

the short story is when you 'jump' the thermotime switch, you are forcing the 
cold start valve to open and inject extra gas into the intake to start the 
car easier when cold.

if the car starts better like this, then either your thermotime switch is bad 
or the wiring is loose or bad.  the cold start valve gets +12V from the 
red/white striped small wire on the starter solenoid.  check that wire for 
continuity if you are having problems.
