I turn on the key and pump the fuel a few times. Repeat MANY times. I’ve tried just holding the fuel open about 50% but that normally only gives me a backfire. Once it starts I need to give it a little extra fuel for 30 seconds or so and in runs fine. Normally the first time I pull out in traffic I need to pump a bit extra. After that it’s great.

Hate to sound like a broken record, but there are no chokes. The hand lever bumps the pedal linkage to open throttles. Used to warm up an already running car when cold by slightly opening throttles above idle (or poor man’s cruise control on long trips).
Key to run fills float bowls. Pumping the throttle squirts fuel from bowls into intakes. I leave the throttles closed during cold starts as this provides the richest condition ( no air) during the start cycle, much like a closed choke does. As it catches, apply a bit of throttle. This pumps a bit more fuel in and allows it to run just above idle. Exactly like the manual says. The cracked throttle when hot allows in a bit of air to match the fuel that ended up in the cylinders that probably percolated out of the hot carbs while sitting hot It is all about getting the right mixture into the cylinders to match what the engine wants for any condition. |
