Pic request: Priming pulse settings

Post by Nebraska_e28 »

Over the summer I was fighting with an issue of my plugs fouling out due to the engine flooding out on a cold start. I (believe) I traced this down to whatever plugs I was using at the time being a couple ranges too cold (i think). During my troubleshooting I turned off the priming pulses. Well now that weather has turned cold, there's no way that will do. I'd like to see some pictures (or data) of what folks have their priming pulse settings at.

Below is what I believe previously worked for me. This look good?

Priming pulse should be set to zero per the guidelines on msextra. Cranking pulsewidth should be all you need. If disabling priming pulse worsens cold starting, increase your cranking PW until it works.

I normally use .1 if I want no prime
At 0, the fuel pump doesn't run at power up.
