Tips for weber adjustments to cope with winter? (attn: carb gods)

[3rdGenFanatic]

Hey, I know I haven't been posting too much, but I've been busy with work and all. Nice to see things are still going on here. Well, I'd like to ask anyone with a weber, or even a stock carb, to share any tips they may have on keeping things going smooth during the winter time, I'll start off with a few I have and feel free to add on, please.

1.) 15-20min. warmup prior to driving it by cranking the car and letting it idle.
2.) Turn the key two notches and let the fuel pump run for a few seconds to build up some pressure before cranking (especially with webers) Maybe even give the accelerator a push or two while the pump is working. (Not so much that you flood it though)
3.) It helped me to run just a touch richer for some reason. I might have just needed the adjustment anyways, but if you're having a rough idle it might help a little, just make sure to stop backing the screw out when the rpms stop raising.

I know this information is all over the board, but in various locations. If any of you have any more advanced tips to share, such as issues concerning the manifold heating/cooling systems, that would be useful to myself, and I'm sure many others. Thanks again and happy tuning!

Oh shit, move this to carb tech please.

I'm going to put some Lucas tranny add-in stuff to my tranny (of course) and I heard that that will help ease shifting in the cold.
I don't know about anyone else, but 2nd gear is a real bitch in the cold...

Turn up the base idle speed a little bit. Double check the choke and high idle settings. A 15 minute warm up is a bit over kill. Just let it warm up untill the high idle reaches the firts kick down.
