We started drifting away from coil discussion on another thread toward difficulty with hand starting so I decided to start a new thread to avoid polluting the other one further.
From RobH2:
Again, not trying to start up the PCV debate but my opinion - a minority opinion - on the PCV system is it's a managed vacuum leak and therefore has a tendency to lean the mixture, how lean is dependent on manifold vacuum and carburetor readjustment after installation. A lean mix is exactly what you don't want when starting, especially starting cold. That's why we have a choke - to richen the mixture for starting.
I don't know that the PCV system is the reason you're having difficulty hand starting but plugging it would eliminate the possibility. What the heck, it's worth a try.
From RobH2:
Yes, I do have a PCV kit installed. What would plugging it do to facilitate starting?
