Hi Paul,

Ensure that the throttle is FULLY closed and that the choke is FULLY on.  
Continue
cranking a second or two after the engine starts to fire, if need be, and
after start, try opening the throttle (keeping the choke fully on) until you get
about 2500 rpm. It may hesitate for the first 30 secs or 1 minute.  When you
have 2500rpm close the choke fully and quickly.  The rpm should drop to no less
than 2000rpm.

You do need to have a good voltage, otherwise cranking may be too slow to get 
started
at all.

Regards
Andy

Hi all,

I am sure that this has been covered before.  I find mine difficult to start 
when
cold.  Warm starts are instant.  Is there an optimal choke / throttle setting
?
Paul
