With manual control of the cold start squirters I will be able to get it running and keep the revs up enough to hopefully keep it from stalling like it does cold. When cold, it needs three starts (sometimes two) but like clockwork after that third start it will keep running.


Well, sure it will do something, but i doubt your engine runs and warms up smooth after it fires up the third crank.. in your current config?
How does it run? do you have popping in the exhaust? does it surge when accelerating? is it really good to go, could you do a bank gettaway then?

a 15-20 minute break ain't that long, so unless it's really cold outside really it shouldn't take to much time cranking there.. that is, unless it's normal running condition is set to lean to begin with.
