Stephen,
As to starting, I prime two or three times, , then leave the primer "out", so I can slowly push and prime additional fuel as the engine starts to run, keeping it running ...- only takes an additional prime or two, before the manifold warms sufficiently to vaporize the fuel... Also just barely open the throttle - I use about 1/2 turn - equal to about 1/8 " if you have a lever type throttle. There is a lean spot in the carb about 1000 - 1300 RPM - normal, but annoying whith a cold engine..... clears up when the engine is up to temp... As the Stromberg carb on the coupe does not have an acceleration pump that squirts fuel into the manifold on acceleration , this is normal, just open the throttle slowly...... Fly Safe - Have Fun Regards, Harry
