Pretty easy and straightforwa rd, but I am =C2-having trouble starting the engine when the engine is col d, it just seems it isn't getting enough fuel.=C2-To get it going I have h ad to leave my boost pump on and I really have to manage the choke and throt tle or it won't start, while I'm juggling these tasks the engine will catch cough and quit, eventually it starts and runs fine. =C2-After the engine h as been run and as long as it's pretty warm it starts like it should. The on ly thing that is different in flight is the fact that I'm getting lower fuel reads in terms of fuel burn.=C2-My Jab used to start on about what seemed the 3rd turn of the prop and run quite well from there on, I'm getting the feeling that if it wasn't broken don't fix it, however, I needed to put in t he ethanol resistant floats and the economy kit presentation during the semi nar helped convince me that a smoother fuel curve over the wide range of thr ottle settings might help some CHT issues that I have had in climb and in cr uise. =C2-The soot from my exhaust pipes is a nice brown and not a velvety black soot.=C2-As of today I again have enrichened the mixture and =C2 -I re-adjusted the new ethanol resistant float =C2-to increase my fuel l evel in the carby. Still I was not able to start my engine and I soon ran th e battery to about 10 volts and that won't spin the engine fast enough to ge t ignition. =C2-I've gone over my cables inspected the whole engine and I don't know what to do to solve the problem, and I'm getting a wee bit tired of going over my engine compartment.=C2-Your advice and expertise are grea tly appreciated.Sincerely,Jeff Paris =C2-JAB 3300 with valves.
