Ed, pull choke out, then open bonnet and feel if you can pull even more on the cable... or push down on the choke linkage. I find that just that extra little bit.. maybe 1/8" matters a lot.

I have an electric fuel pump....do I need to wait a certain amount of time before trying to start it in the morning?  This only happens when it's cold.  It takes about 8-10 tries to get it started.  Starting afterward is fine.  This may sound stupid, but is there a process for this?
