I thought I had my carbs dialed in perfectly but when starting on a slightly cold day I have a heck of a time getting it started plus the carbs pop for some time until the engine warms. Should I try fattening up each barrel a bit? I'm asking BC it runs so good at operating temp which is where I adjusted it.

Webers are notoriously cold blooded on our engines.. Poor running when cold is usually just a side effect of having them without a choke..
If it runs great when warm, then I wouldn't worry about how it runs when warming up... |

Its more of just the difficulty in starting. I may try to fatten up each just a hair to see if it improves starting then go from there. I know my neighbors were hating me this morning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
