Mine has ALWAYS (from an early age) done exactly this as well. I have learned NOT to start it to back it out of the garage to wash it, unless I plan to allow it to warm up as you describe.

On the occasions where I forgot to do this, I was always able to get it started by flooring the accelerator while cranking - this seems to clear the flooding. It will run rough for a while once it starts, but then level off eventually.

Seems to be one of the M119 "features."
