No points: Electronic ignition.
A properly tuned updraft carb should be a little hard to start.
Years ago, I added an oxygen sensor and an air:fuel ratio gauge. Using an adjustable main jet, I have the ratio at cruise rpm set very close to the ideal 14.7:1.
At idle, I set the mixture slightly richer in order to make starting a little easier. In summer, a cold start with full choke always takes two tries. Very predictable. This increases in the fall as temperatures go down.
I did some experimenting, and found that adjusting the idle mix so it started cold on the first try was significantly richer than 14.7:1 and resulted in more fouled looking plugs.
