I doubt if the cold start valve is your problem. Unless it is below
about 30 farenheit, the cold start doesn't even function when it is
hooked up.
I would suspect fuel pressure or timing. Maybe the distributor gear is
off one tooth, and you can't turn the dist. far enough. Check the fuel
pressure first. 28-32 psi.
