Ketil..
Fires a couple of times:
Does this occur more in wet rather than
dry weather? Fr'instance, when was the
last time you renewed ignition wires, etc.
If it is not humidity related but rather
temperature related, then amount of
"choke" may require adjustment.
Consider:
Not continuing to run for the initial start
can often be a blessing in disguise with
respect to initial oil pressure, whether
the filter you are using is equipped with
an anti-drainback valve or not.
Rate of turnover:
There is a certain amount of drag associated with starting with the
clutch
disengaged in the summer, and a certain
amount of drag starting with it engaged
(driveline turning) in the winter.
Of course, this is to some extent dependent on the viscosity of the oil
in the gearbox, etc.
Whichever way the engine turns over
"faster" depending upon
outside air temperature is the way you
want to go for that particular outside
air temperature range.
Generally speaking the engine will turn
over faster during initial start with the
clutch disengaged except in very cold
temperatures.
