Thankfully it started. Is that a good idea? I think : this came from ancient carburator type thinking? Well, you don't want to flood the engine. Sometimes in the cold I get excessive load from electrical motors (i.e., secondary air injection on naturally aspirated model) struggling to turn and need to rev it a little bit after I start it to keep it from dying. Pressing the gas before starting is a carburetor trick; it operates the choke. -- agreenbu Return to Main Index
