[Shotimes] Cold Starts

[Leigh Smith]

According to the Pobst fuel injection book, it does help to floor the
throttle to start the car, but it should only be done when it is flooded
with fuel. Normally, you should not have to even touch the gas. The PCM has
a "flooded carburator" mode built into just like the old days. Engine
floods, floor pedal, engine clears and starts right up.
When my CID was bad, it wouldn't always start quickly, and after about 3
engine turns, I could smell the raw gas from the flooded engine. Kinda
reminded me of an old double-pumper Holley! But no-lead doesn't smell near
as good as old leaded hi-test!!
Right George?
