have a 72, hard to start when cold but fires first try when warm. put new wires plugs, 650 dbl pump quick fuel carb. i have been trying different choke settings but no noticeable difference. pulled a plug, a little black but not flooded. checked for spark and it seems ok. gas is shooting out of squirter under choke plate, so have fuel and spark. crank over and over but nothing. give a few pumps and it gives a cough after a few tries, then it either starts sometimes or just keep cranking till battery dies.by then choke is fully open. could it not be getting enough spark? has proform electronic ignition. thought might be ign switch but when warm it fires first try so has me stumped. is there a pantera glitch when cold starting or is it just choke adj. car should start even without choke though, its in my semi warm shop. any help is greatly appreciated. its hard to find mechanics who will take care when working on panteras( scratching my flared fenders) so would love to figure out myself
