Default Hard Starting Cold Continental Engines

Dude, the T-Arrow IV left the factory with a Rajay turbo with a bolt
screwed into the tailpipe for pseudo boost control-a V's got an
Airesearch turbo with a automatic waste gate. You've got TCM "classic"
fuel injection, a V's got RSA/Bendix/Precision Airmotive fuel
injection.

I don't think that the V's installation has the push-to-prime "cold
start kit" as an option...

The cold start kit option on your engine was a set of fine-wire
sparkplugs and a solenoid valve with a couple extra hard lines that
allowed fuel to be sprayed directly into the front end of the LH and RH
induction pipes.

TCM "classic" injected engines are typically started with the mixture
control at "full rich", RSA/Bendix injected engines are typically
started with the mixture at ICO.
