Robert, I have an Indy with 4 twin-choke Webers and find that you need to let the fuel pump run for a while to charge up the float chambers etc. as the fuel evaporates quickly after a run when the engine is hot. I would suggest up to a minute as a good time. Then a couple of pumps on the throttle (two slow pumps but all the way) then try to catch it as they say!

Good luck – you will get the hang of it soon. Cheers – Keith
