cold morning starting problems at around 35 degrees and below.
symptoms : engine cranks strong and won't start unless floor the gas pedel... much like the old choke carbs.
It then sounds like it wants to start but doesn't quite trun over. I can crank the engine for over a minute straight sometimes before it chokes to a start.

After it starts and I rev it to around 1500 to 2000 rpms it will restart right away. could I have cracks dist cap? What else could it be ?

Thanks
