So this old 257 I have had an interesting start up habit (I think). If it’s dead cold and hasn’t been used in a couple weeks, I will choke it and pull until it “pops” then I push in the choke and pull and when it fires up it runs at a pretty high speed until I pull the throttle and then it’ll drop to idle after that.
if it’s warm or has been started in the last few days, as best I can tell it won’t do the high speed start up and just cranks to an idle speed.
Guess I should be happy it turns over so easily after sitting awhile but I am curious about the circuitry making it do the high idle. Is it only if it barely catches on choke that it will do that when next cranked?
