[Bill G]

Generally, mine stays running on the furst start, but with colder weather, if I remember, I will crank it with the key off and choking it for a couple seconds. Turn the key on and continue to choke and it fires right up, the pull down on the advance. Works nearly all the time. Opening the GAV may or may not help during starts because it doesn't kick in until revs are at a fast idle or higher. In warmer summer weather, no issues at all.
