It could be gummy injectors that need a clean out. The cold weather does normally highlight this problem more so

This is what I now use and it does work well

To use take off the rubber hose from the vapour filter and pour some down the pipe and then refit. Run the engine and let the mixture run through. I usually give it 2 or 3 goes.

If it switches over as soon as it is started then it isn't an injection system but a single point. Might be an idea to know exactly what Romano system you have before going any further.
