Cold is a relative term. I guess I should have said before the engine warms up for several minutes. Ambient cold here in California lately is 60-95 degrees. I have run the car without the choke in the past when the ambient temperature was near 32 degrees without this problem. I tried the carb cleaner and it seemed a bit better but it still died before it ran for several minutes unless I kept the rpm at about 1400. I will try more carb cleaner to see if it corrects the problem. Today may not have been the best test since the ambient temperature is almost 100 degrees. I may have to hook up the choke but it's funny I hadn't needed it for years and thousands of miles.
