[TR] Start up

[TERRY SMITH]

So my TR3 has been abruptly starting up with no choke.  But after driving, I'd had to push throttle completely down  to get it to restart, like after spending a few minutes shopping for replacement workboots or food.  
I figgered, hmmm...., easy start up in the cold with no choke, it must be running a bit rich already.  Checked the carbs and found the forward carb would tend to increase a bit when I lifted the piston a bit.  Adjusted the nut (upwards) to lean it out until that didn't seem an issue.  Ran the engine.  Shut it off.  Waited.  Re-started without the throttle easily.
'Scuse me.  THAT seems too freakin' easy!  Could it be????
