Subject:      Rough Cold Start
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed

My 90 Syncro is idling a bit rough and seems to be running very rich
right after startup. Smells like more unburned gas coming out of the
exhaust than normal, so I suspect that it's running too rich for some
reason. It doesn't quite stall, but RPM's dip to 500 or 600 and refuses
to hit 850 unless I hit the throttle. Then the symptoms go away. Lasts
for a very short time although I have not tried to see what happens if
I don't goose the throttle. We are not talking extreme temps here, by
the way.

Been through about every adjustment and tested/replaced parts except
that I never touched the CO adjustment. I did install a new throttle
switch and wonder if it needs to adjusted more accurately. Could not
find anything in the Bentley or the "Bentley Lite" manuals other than
the usual fuel injection test procedures, blah, blah.

Any ideas?
