Finally...figured out the cold start mystery. The Solex "progressive starter mechanism" is defective on many of their carbs. The ports don't line up correctly in choke mode. All carbs. and now corrected and running well. The #3 PSM seems to work the best - that was the one where I drilled a new hole in the brass disc. On the others I just ground a notch in the choke lever on the PSM. Jeep is running good and it appears I have only used about 1/4 qt. in ~450 mi. But hard to say for sure in that the filter lost oil when new. But, I think the crankcase and the filter takes 5 qts. to full. When I show a quart low, I will add a quart and we'll see how many miles have been traveled since the oil change.
