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 :)
