Hi all just to check options here, I have a 440 6 barrel and the first start of the day can be painful sometimes.
There's this ritual:
Crank for about 10 sec.
Press pedal to the floor (choke) and release
crank for another 10 seconds... and it starts!
....well... usually... sometimes it won't but question here is... shouldn't it start straight away instead of doing al this?
I believe it should be pedal to the floor, crank and start straight away?
Timing is ok, can't remember which spark plugs are in there at the moment. Weather is colder at the moment but makes no difference. Battery is new and charging fine. If I connect a battery starter it's the same thing, only cranking a bit faster.
Thank you.
