[DML] Re: Moving Accelerator Pedal While Starting

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David's talking about an accelerator pump like an old fashioned
carburetor -- every time you lower the pedal on one of those,
additional gas is squirted into the carb, irrespective of whether the
engine is spinning or not.

DeLo pedal is connected to the throttle plates only. Moving it does
nothing more than open those plates.

Which isn't to say opening the throttle plates won't affect starting,
however. Rather than pumping the pedal, try lowering it different
amounts then holding it still while turning the engine. Additional air
flow will lower the air sensor plate more, metering more fuel to the
injectors. May help if your CI is misadjusted or missing enrichment
(cold start valve or CPR).
