[NOBBC] Any thoughts on a starting issue?

[ANTHONY BARNARD]

Hi Greg, Not overly familiar with your car but it sounds like you are running
too rich at cold start up. I would do a complete service with NEW plugs and
possibly wires/distributor cap even compression test. I have not had a lot of
success in restoring plugs if they have been fouled. Interested to know how
you get on.
Regards Tony Barnard
