Re: What do I need to do to refine my tune-up?

IMO, if the car is driven regularly, pushing the pedal to the floor one time should be enough and is actually the recommended procedure in many manuals. That one push shoots a squirt of gas and releases the choke off the idle cam so it can close.

If the car sits for awhile then it kind of depends on whether gas in the carb has gone to places unknown. Sometimes the bowl has to be filled again before a squirt happens and a few extra pumps while the engine is cranking seems to help.
