Default Starting

The carb starts fine when it is cold however when the engine is hot it will not start if you look at the throttle, any movement of throttle linkage dumps enough raw fuel to make for a very slow and rich start, it is a single plane manifold so the fuel runs right down the ports.
The EFI has a temperature curve that you can adjust for starting. You can adjust starting injector pulse width down as temperature goes up and can even adjust the rpm that determines when the engine is running and adjust the pulse width at that point too. I have an MSD with Blaster coil so the ignition is up to it if the plugs aren't soaked. This is not a street carb and has no choke plate so it is not a direct comparison to a street carb.
