Re: Starting problems

I'll be interested if anyone else has a solution to this problem. I've lived with this condition for years. I'm running a 350 with a Performer RPM manifold and a 600 cfm manual choke. If the car has been driven within the previous 24 hours it will fire right up (almost instantly). If it's freezing cold, a bit of choke helps, but it still starts right up.

If it hasn't been driven in a few days, it's like trying to start a radial aircraft engine, requiring a lot of challenging patience to get the right combination of choke and accelerator strokes to bring it to life. It never occured to me to do something different to try and eliminate this behavior.
