as the morning are growing a bit colder up here in northern NY, i'm finding it necessary to use either the cold start or the engine idle lever to get the truck going in the morning.
when i use the cold start, the engine fires right up, but runs real rough - i would say "rich", i then switch over and increase the engine idle up to about 1,000 or so rpm's and shut the cold start down, and the engine purrs nicely.
is this the proper technique for cold starting? does the cold start need some adjustment? i didn't have any luck just increasing the engine idle lever, but had to resort to the cold start THEN the engine idle.
