c20xe cold start

[--ToM--]

right when i go to start it up it fires up straight away and cuts out imediately after it does that it then takes longer to fire up (5-6 secs) then cuts out again. it will do this maybe 7 - 8 times before im able to keep it running by holding the revs on the accelerator but even then when revving its really lumpy and bangs as if its overfueling loads after 2 mins or so its spot on, just the initial start up its having problems with? overfueling i think?? :tard:

any help is appreciated

If it runs fine when warm - it has to be temp related....
