My 87 syncro when in "good operating condition" had a problem starting if
COLD at 8k' or higher. It didn't want to start (cranked fine, would not
fire), and ran like a bag-o-nails for a couple minutes. And you could smell
it was RICH. Once at lower elevation no problem (cold or not). It was worse
if it was very humid/moist (like during a snowstorm).

Obviously starting at WOT helps get it started when cold soaked at
elevation, but it did not like it. Down here (at 4400') it is not an issue.
