Re: Carb vs Fuel Inj

I guess back in the "old days" we never knew any different.

We just assumed you would start your truck and let it warm up a while before trying to go anywhere, even on a summer morning.

But my experience is that a carb with a working choke is more likely to start on a really sub-zero morning. It seems like the EFI processor takes too long to figure things out and your battery runs down by then. I've had carb/choke trucks start on the second or third "grunt" from the starter at minus thirty or forty, after having sat for days.
