This may be one of those questions that is hard to answer on the board, but am curious as to what most of you do as a routine for starting your car -- from cold.

Weather in SA is not that bad recently (high 50s, low 60s), but am still trying to get the hang of starting my Cobra without cranking it a few times.

General strategy is to push in the pedal about 1/8th the way and pull the choke out about 3/4inch. Seems like I either flood it or don't give it enough gas. Usually get it straight after the third crank and off she goes. Also, I don't tend to keep the choke on for very long.

Any suggestions, tricks or ideas you all have picked up in getting this going?? Probably not hurting anything by my current method, but am curious.

Thanks!
