I thank you for the quick responses! We've been havin' this cold weather front now for quite awhile (am sure your aware of it what with both of ya' livin' in the Pacific Northwest) and I'm beginnin' ta' think that could be the very problem (been decades since we've had these temps in CA!!) Yes the manual choke works, sooo will just keep on pumpin' or push throttle to the floor then release method. Might also add that truck is not driven' every day. Again I thank ya'... ~ Skip
