In general with Windsor engines, a cold start problem is choke related. Either check the choke return springs or the level of richness - too far in either direction will make things difficult to start.



The other option is spark. The battery might not hold its charge terribly well, or corroded contacts or cables, or perhaps a deadish alternator, or else the starter itself i jiggered.
