Bob: That is about as good as one can describe how to do it with those pre 1958 gassers. I have used that proceedure since I was 10 years old. Each one will be a bit different.

I know my Super A is very sensitive to too much choke, needs even less than your description at start of cranking, then it's just enough to keep it running for about 2 min. My 130 on the other hand will take the two revolutions of starter, and it fires up so quick you really never get the choke in, it will then sit there for about 3 min idleing with about 1/2 choke. I can never leave the SA on 1/2 choke, I must stand there and feather it. I remember my 300 was closer to 130 habits than SA.

My 140 is completely different, only post 58 gas Farmall I ever dealt with in winter. With that one you hold the choke full out for about 25 revolutions of starter, longer if cold enough. After it fires up it requires very little choke to keep it running. Supposedly the same little engine but with the Marvel carb, the starting habits are completely different
