Re: What Is Your Engine Start Procedure?

In all cases you give, I just lightly tap the gas pedal once to set the automatic choke, turn the key and hit the starter - usually starts within 1/2 to 2 revolutions. Same process with either the 34 or the 56.

No electric fuel pumps here, if the car has sat for 14 days or so, I pump the gas pedal lightly to set the choke and then two or three times while it's cranking - starts very quickly. I understand you can't do this on cars with the Carter carburetor starter switch.
