It depends on how cold it is too. I give it a pump or two, and choke pulls a little easier if you hold the throttle partway down. It starts right now, and runs like it's fuel injected, with the heat riser working. If it doesn't start in less than 5 seconds I did something wrong. This is on an original 1950 216 with only 2500 miles on it.
