Ok I found out today that my valves were all tight. They were just adjusted 5000 miles ago but I did the spring stretch on the pump releif valve so possibly cleaned out some carbon. I posted results on the releif spring thread. She ran good just wouldnt start. Now it starts good but the temperature is in the 40's . So no conclusive evidence on cold starting.

Here in south Texas it might take a while to try it again but I will post when I find out.

1 vacuum stop valve spared for the time being .

Here come the I told you so's !!!!
