Ive always wandered, are you supposed to run the car like that from cold? Just driving around with the choke out. I know people 'can' do it, but is it recommended? Are you meant to let the car warm up and then drive on, or can you just drive off once its started with the choke out?
I had an old mini that ran on a carb n i was always told to start the car from cold with the choke out and gradually push it back in, then once the engine is warm THEN you set. Now my old minis fuelling n carb set up was preety buggered.
BUT some people have been telling me that they start there minis as normal, but dont sit there lettin it warm up, they just drive on with the choke out, then afta a wile push it all the way in. is there any right or wrong way about it???

@rmejpmgb none :-P ATF works very good though, you might try a few thin oils and use the oil you & your engine feels happiest with.

What oil do you use in the damper? The ATF-oil or just motor-oil?
