I've noticed my Fiat (well, at least it's Italian) doesn't start below 60
degrees C. It floods out really easily and it is hard to get it just right
but I'm working on the method. I *don't* pump the pedal once on cold days
but I *do* pull the choke (running a Webber but I don't think my 60CFM
coffee cup really qualifies) and it will burble to life if I'm quick about
modulating the pedal as it sputters. Between that and the distributor
being sensitive to moisture I thought I should go all electronic... but do
I really want to bring an old Fiat out in crappy weather?
I think the Italian's had it right. If it's too cold, the car doesn't
start. Then you shrug your shoulders, go back in the villa and open
another bottle of wine. Your boss will understand. His car didn't start
either :)

Laurie,
Seems like the comedy team did not address your problem.
-Do have first turn over consistent
s-plug spark?
-How many seconds of spin before it catches?
-Do you have a gas stench when no start and a brown/grey exhaust
start up cloud?
-Do you have a square start up? Meaning on its first fire up does
the engine take over and run learn and fine.
-How is your carb choke function doing?
A A Sounds like a dry carb throat cold start and the Webers
venturi velocity is too low to pull in fuel the extra distance
through the S-charger. I assume it is a positive not a centrifugal
unit.
A A Sounds like a choke calibration or its addition needs to
happen.
Good luck and I hope this helps.
