Damn Thermoquads.

Kern, I have several Mopars with Thermoquads and have found that in order to get them to start immediately when cold, you would have to set the choke so rich that the engine would load up and die soon after it starts and then be difficult to re-start. Unfortunately you've got to set the choke fairly lean to avoid flooding, which means you're going to have to crank it awhile before it will start. I have never found a way around that.
