Well said.? I was contemplating a similar post.? I can also vouch for ease of
starting after the car has been put away in early November, sat untouched until
early May, and started the same way, with just a few more seconds of cranking
to allow the gas to make it to the injectors.?? Once after that initial start
each subsequent time a quick touch of the key and the car is running and idling
right away.? And the temps here get much colder than 40 degrees.
Cheers,

Subject: [6pack] Was fuel pumps now technophile weenies
Though at my age being called a "technophile weenie" is a complement (I still
have trouble with my video recorder) I can't let Vance's comment re fuel
injection (in my case TBI) go unchallenged.
<<<<<<OTOH, when the car has at least been occasionally driven, I
*barely* touch the key and she starts right up. Try *THAT* with fuel
injection, technophile weenies!!!!!>>>>>>>>
Not only can I start my TBI injected car with just a touch of the key but I
can do it in 40 degree weather (it doesn't get much colder here in Fl.) without
the choke by just reaching into the driver's side window and turning the key.
I
would say try to match that with your stone age carbs but I'd probably offend
all but 2 or three of the people on this list, most of whom (including Vance)
I
admire.
