Bob---Not too surprising that you could usually get away with a no-choke startup with the Webers. As you know, the Weber have the advantage of the accelerator pump to squirt gas. SUs and the ZS carbs don't, and rely on choke to richen things up.  A nice, fat spark doesn't hurt, either!

Hi,

Not trying to be funny here, but I found through trial and error that by 
making the best spark possible, it practically eliminates the need for the 
choke. On my race with triple Webers, I only need the choke for the first 
start of the day. When I had that setup in the street car, I had a Crane 
X700 spark box and I NEVER needed the choke. The car started first twist, 
even down to the mid-20's (F).

regards,
rml
