I agree with Bob,
Althoug I haven't done repeated cold starting with my '59 (although several
time in in the 20's) it's never had a problem. Pull the choke all the way,
usually on 3 or 4 revolutions and she's fired. Drop the choke back and use
the pedal to hold about 800-900 rpms.
I'd suggest you go through afew things first, clean plugs and gap'em, clean
points and gap'em, and set the timing. Clean the rotor and cap.
If you think it has to do with the oilbath aircleaner, just pull it off and
see how she starts without it.
