If you open the throttle while cranking, you're introducing more air that the engine must compress. They don't like that. A properly tuned motor like this should start with no throttle.
A spare CDI is terrific for troubleshooting.
A good battery is very important. A new one is money well spent.
Your logic is right on track. You're not far from the solution.

My only hesitation with blaming the valves it that I didn't do anything to them the last two times this problem just "went away". Would they fix themselves and then get out of whack again?
