I turn on the key and pump the fuel a few times. Repeat MANY times. I’ve tried just holding the fuel open about 50% but that normally only gives me a backfire. Once it starts I need to give it a little extra fuel for 30 seconds or so and in runs fine. Normally the first time I pull out in traffic I need to pump a bit extra. After that it’s great.

No Porsche with carbs ever had chokes, they had a hand throttle.
Fifty years later our carburated cars have every kind of variable imaginable. We operators have every kind of variable too. Attached thumbnail(s) |

The Warm start you show is what I've always done on most all carb'd VW's and Porsches with no chokes. Works like a charm. |
