Re: Preferred Starting procedure
When cold my car needs to have the choke pulled out to fire then starts immediately once it is released. That's quite normal for any four stroke engine, if they start without any choke they will be running too rich for the rest of the time. You can't argue with common sense.
PS I first tried that way because all the books that I read by Model A experts said that was the way. They were right. |

Re: Preferred Starting procedure
I often would start my '29 coupe with the crank, but needed to make two modifications: A clothespin to hold the rod back for a couple of pulls on the crank; and a wire running from the choke through just beneath the radiator to where the crank was so I could re-open the choke without having to get back into the car and remove the clothespin. Worked every time. Crank starting always impressed the ladies in the college parking lot.
