ah ha! the Cold-Start valve is activated when engine temperature is below 113F. I thought it was much much lower such as 32F. I remember it incorrectly.
That combined with the idea that providing lots of throttle increases the fuel flow from the distributor, combined with easy starting when engine is not cold leads me to believe I messed up the connection back on the cold start valve when I had my hands back there. This morning I’ll get out there and first, check the harness is properly attached to the cold start valve.
If it is, then I’ll disconnect it, connect a trouble light across its contacts, disconnect the CDI, and have my wife crank the engine. I’ll be watching for the light to come on thus confirming the signal from the Thermo-time switch is working….or not working.
back in touch.
