Too cold to start car
I know a choke would help but didn't think it'd be that big of a headache without it.
It still should start. A big problem is the gas today, it tends to evaporate, even though it's sealed inside the bowls.
My car has no choke, but will fire with the pump, pump, crank, pump, pump crank feather the throttle till it warms up method.
What made mine work better is a small electric fuel pump back by the gas tank. I turn it on to get fuel up to the mechanical pump then shut it off.
The gas today will flat out disappear, a couple years ago I poured just a bit in a cap from a spray bomb and left it sit about 24 hours. It was during the summer when it was hot and humid, I checked it the next day and the cap was bone dry. Water wouldn't have evaporated that fast.
