To All:

Is it normal for MG's to be very very difficult
to start in the winter, after sitting in the cold
for weeks.  here in Houston it has been cold(for us)
temps in the 30's for a week and I decided to go for
a drive the other night.

It took about 10 minutes of starting and pumping the
pedal along with pulling of the choke.

When it finally did start it toook about 5 minutes for
all cylinders to function.  After all of this, the car ran fine
went to the store with no problems in starting after that.
This may have been because it was finally warmed up.

So are these cars not happy in the COLD????

Thanks for all help.
