tim hunt Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Of late I have noticed that sometimes after a few days of inactivity my car will start immediately on full choke from cold, just like a modern with EFi. On other occasions the engine will turn over for a second or two before it fires. Any theories as to why this might be? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
