[6pack] Hard Starting New SU6 Carbs

[David Fidler]

Steve,

The choke is there for a reason, to add gas when you start the car and for a
while afterwards, while the engine warms up. Trying to hurry this process is
counterproductive. 5 mins on choke is about right (longer if it's a cold day).
If your other cars require less choke, they're probably running too rich.

Best regards,

David (Fid).
