Any reason why the CS Injector doesn't actually work as its intended? Is it an age thing, or is it just poorly designed?

Put simply, it's both...
In really cold climates it works well, giving the initial combustion to run, in hot climates it recognises the ambient heat and closes. But in the UK, where we suffer a true temperate climate, it errs on the side of caution and gives a slug of fuel on coldish, dampish mornings... This is too much for the cold chambers and floods the spark into submission... Shortly followed by flooding the whole chamber with unburnt mixture.
If it's minus 6 outside, with a yard of frost on the roof, I bet it starts okay... (assuming it's the cold start injector at fault).
With it disconnected, in really cold weather, pick up the throttle slightly.
Set up correctly, the car should start without touching the throttle pedal.
