Well, in BBrriiaann1973's defense, he lives in Phoenix. 40's and 50's and a few 30's maybe, same as here in L.A. I disconnected my choke over 20 years ago and have never had one problem with it starting right up after a few pumps of the peddle.
He just needs to take the advice here and check to see if the accelerator pump is spraying fuel into the venturi when the throttle is manually operated and if not then he needs to figure out why the bowl is dry (leak or draining back?) and fix it. -BA
