MS After Start Enrichment??
Chippy - 9/9/10 at 10:19 PM

Quick question for the MS guru's. In More Cranking Stuff, Extra Fuel For Cranking. 1st line says "Use First Start Enrichment", with a little box with either YES or NO, (mine is currently NO), is this correct? Thanks in advance, Ray

IIRC, 1st start enrichment is triggered by pumping the throttle past flood-clear throttle position 3 times before cranking. It gives extra cranking enrichment for when you think it needs a bit more help (i.e. on the 1st start of the day). Only needed in unusual circumstances (particular engine and/or climate), so NO is usually correct.

if it starts without any bother leave it well alone.

As above, shouldn't need it. I have mine set to on but haven't activated it (3 full throttle presses) ever since I fitted TB's.
