I'll third or fourth (or....) the choke as being the most likely culprit for the hard to start when cold engine. What's the outside temp like there? Even with the choke working right it will be harder to start. That's why a lot of late model carb cars have a tube from the manifold up to the air cleaner controlled by vacuum switches -- to divert warm air in the carb for cold weather starts/operating. _______________________________________________ AMC-List mailing list AMC-List@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list or go to http://www.amc-list.com
