Mine is key on, wait a sec, turn rest of way starts after just a couple of revs of the starter.
I have to let it run for a minute or it runs like a dog. I just changed the fluids and that might help the cold stumbling. I'll know in the morning.

I had a little bit of a problem on my old engine. Not sure what the deal was. We'll see how the 383 starts when cold.

Mine runs like new money from a cold start-up. Get in, strap it on, insert key in ignition, listen to the DING! DING! DING! pre-ignition tone, turn the key and doe, chew, chew, chew, VRRRROOOMMMM! It's GTP fantasy time! :cheers:
