You are not odd. That is my experience with ALL properly tuned Amal carbs, even in Texas which is not often cold. Really, tickling is all we need for 3/4 of the year; enricher slides for cool/cold weather. A GOOD SQUIRT on the ticklersI'll have to be the odd one out , as usual.
My stock MK3 will run very nicely right from cold startup as long as the chokes are on. It will idle smoothly and pull away easily with chokes on. It will rev high enough to accelerate reasonably thru the gears, maybe to about 3500 rpm in each gear. Above that it sputters because the chokes are on.
A mile or so down the road I pull the chokes off and it runs fine thereafter.
Old original Amals.
Not quite like a new efi engine but not far off.
