[DeTomaso] You want Pantera Content... okay here goes...

Laurie,

Since I am a redneck on a farm --- I put a shot of starting fluid in the 
air cleaner and when I get in the car I give it one pump on the gas 
pedal to squirt the accelerator pumps and start the motor.  Generally 
when it is cold it requires a few more pumps to stabilize the idle after 
it has barked off.  My carb Panteras don't have choke plates so in the 
winter this is the norm.

I have never tried it on a roots type supercharger but assume it would 
work also.

   he does amazing drawings, free hand, about a half hour per drawing.

   Who has interesting suggestions on cold starting a supercharged engine
   with Electromotive Ignition and Webers?
   It loves to start immediately when it's a bit warmed up outside but a
   little testy early in the morning when I want to get to one of these
   shows that starts before 7 a.m. Keep in mind it doesn't snow here...
   40's to 60's is about the morning temp.
   I've already gotten some handy advice from one VIP but I'd be open to
   hearing other opinions if you're knowledgeable about such a set up.
