The carbs of yester year have to be modified and enrichened to run with todays gas. The fuel of today burns faster and hotter than it did in the 50's with less Octane. Actually the octane cooled it. Does someone who knows how to do it draw up the octane molecule picture. Once the heat riser is shit canned then step up fast idle on choke and this will give a little extra time for a warm up. I would advise never step up choke setting as the excess raw fuel washes oil and lube off cylinder walls causing un-needed wear. Another trick is to step up T-Stat temp to at least 180 as the gas atomizes better with hotter cast iron but hates the restricted exhaust. P.S. brain surgeons weigh in.
