As you can see a few intake slots are open so there's a slight breeze instead of a gale force wind.

It starts 1st pull every time but I'd stall it by prematurely opening the choke. Traditionally the fix for such cold bloodedness would be to adjust the carb a skosh richer but I liked the notion of it being on the ragged edge of lean- and it runs well when warm- so decided to enhance warm-up like we do on our vehicles. The thing would be to not forget that block there but it's right in my face so I haven't.
