Is there anything that would help cold starts? Electronic ignition? Bigger intake with a better carb for more fuel and air delivery for better spark?

How about a "working" choke.

Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires. No matter how good she looks, somebody, somewhere, is tired of her sh*t. Beauty is skin deep, ugliness goes clear to the bone. |

there is a choke but it's an "automatic" choke and engages when the gas pedal is pushed.

Yes. It takes me about 5 times to get it to turn over. I usually pump the gas twice and then hold it about half way on the first time I try to start it.

there was some recent discussion on here about that... sounds like the fuel is draining back out of the carb??? mine takes a bit of cranking after it's sat for a week or two??? if it's started within a few days it starts fine??????

I daily drive the car. Drive it to work everyday. My work is like 10min away so it's not a far drive. But drives good once it starts. The past couple of days it has been hard to start in the colder morning. And I would like to fix the problem as soon as I can

really hard to say for sure? what year car? motor? condition of the motor? i'm assuming you have points? what's the gap? how do the plugs look? what's the timing set at?
just need more info. to try to narrow down a possible answer for you |
