[Roadsters] How to warm up a Roadster?

[Gregory S. Morrison]

To choke or not to choke, that is the question.

Once and for all I'm trying to figure out the best way to start off without
fouling the plugs or causing gasket problems due to metal components warming
up (and therefore expanding) at different rates.

I've always choked it as little as possible, for the least amount of time as
possible. If it's warm out then that's not too much of a problem. When it's
colder out it becomes more of an issue. The hand throttle really helps with
this. I try not to take off until I see a bump on the temp gauge.

For point of reference this is a low mile, stock, non-smog 2000 that runs
great.

Suggestions?
