[T3] cold start behavior


Greetings Type3 folks - first time posting.

Car = 69 Square all stock 1600 with FI intact.

Did a full tune up this weekend - plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points/condenser.  Car runs beautifully down the road - however after this tune-up, the car runs rough when cold (like no choke).  Once the car warms up its fine...just the first start in the morning when it idles rough. I can feather the gas pedal and raise the RPM and that helps smooth it out and warm it up...then it idles fine.

I have a Bentley - and I've read the fuel section thoroughly - just seems that the manual tells you a lot about how to remove/replace parts but not what those parts do.  Does the cold start valve provide a steady flow of extra fuel - or just one spray?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
Paulie
