I've pumped the gas pedal, I've kept the pedal down and nothing seems to work. It takes me cranking on the starter for 5 minutes before she starts. Once the engine is warm, I have no trouble idling at 1K RPMs.
Would using a little starter fluid in the carb before cranking the starter help? How about covering the butterflys with a board to simulate a choke? All suggestions welcomed!
Thanks!

I have a CSX with a Pond 482/Bigs 750cfm HP. Does take 2 to 3 miles to warm up.
Steps to starting:
1. Turn switch on
2. Turn on electric pumps. Wait 10 seconds for pressure to build up and the fuel to get to the carb.
3. Press the gas pedal down twice (2 times then off).
4. Hit the starter, when it pops give it a little gas and feather the gas peddle to get it up to 1500 RPM to warm up.
If this does not work then look at the carb adjustment.
