I tried richening, leaning, but nothing seemed to work. The engine ran fine that way, no problems with bottom end or flameouts, but it seams a little weird. Could it be the idle gap (too big, too large?)
From my experience, the B5 does not like being started cold/ambient. The engine will run extremely rich (compared to other motors) until it warms up. Not a big deal. Warm it up for a minute with a heat gun, and you should be fine.
