Hard cold start 12HT

[Wherlwind]

I've tested my glow system and it specs out as per the FSM. I've disconnected the temp sensor now and even with a full glow it will not start unless I give it a slight touch on the gas pedal. If I give it a bit more than a slight touch then it starts and revs up way high and smokes quite a bit.
All the posts I've read about this say that theirs fire right away as soon as they have a bit more glow. Why would I have to give it this shot of fuel for it to fire mine up?

Mines the same. It needs fuel on start up when cold. I use the hand throttle so I don't get the variance of pushing the peddle to hard and flooring a cold engine.

Once started I let it rev at around 1000rpms to warm up faster.

I would get a compression test done and the injectors replaced. Maybe your fuel pump also needs some looking at.
Start off cheap.

Mine woud start straight away with a non functioning glow system,but in warmer weather than your experiencing.

I do exactly the same.

turm my hand throttle rpm upto about 1200, then do the old glow screen for about 6 secs, and boom fires up good.

if i don't give any juce, much harder to fire up.

Mine need to preheat after a hole night ( or nights ) without running .. 12 segs .. fire up and start fine, smoke ( cold ) at 550 rpm aprox .. until ti warms up and reach the 600 rpm

It sounds like like eveyone needs that little bit of extra fuel at startup. I've been using the hand throttle after starting to keep it around 1000RPM or it does idle pretty rough. Thanks
