Hello Class:

My TR3A has trouble starting when it's in the garage after an overnite rest 
especially if the weather has turned cold. A shot of ether always brings it 
to life and it starts right up. The choke seems to be working as a pull 
increases the idle although for all I know it could need further tinkering. 
It has new plugs, the Bosch resistor type, WR7BP. The fuel pump does not have 
the priming lever although I may have a used one lying around. I'm not 
complaining about the running just yet. It will start sometimes without the 
ether if I pump the gas pedal but it takes a while. Once it's been started it 
usually starts on the first push. Where do I go from here?

Thanks...
