Gary,
I get the same thing on start-up; I have to keep the revs > 1,000 to stop it.
I have low compression in cyls 1 & 2 (which I can't afford to fix just yet),
and it's my guess that this causes dynamic imbalance of the crank. Perhaps
its worse in a cold engine because the difference in power-stroke pressure
between the good and bad cylinders is exaggerated.
Anybody else with ideas?
