Question 88 Vert - Hard to start cold - trailing plugs wet - leading plugs dry

When trying to start my vert, it sounds like it is going to start but doesn't. I can pull the fuse and turn the engine over as if it is flooded, replace the fuse and it will start. Runs rough as if flooded for a minute, then smooths out and runs fine. The first time this happened, I pulled the plugs and noticed the trailing plugs were wet but the leading plugs were dry. Car will start fine once it is warmed up.

There was a guy in 2005 that had the same problem and fixed it, but didn't say how he did it. I could use that info.

I'm not sure, but I think I have found the problem. First, I would like to note that all plugs were firing when I was having the starting problem. What I did was replace the plugs and the trailing plug coil pack. I went for a drive then parked the car and let it set for 4 days. After 4 days, I got in and it started right up. So, I am assuming it is fixed.

If someone else tries this and it doesn't work, please let me know.
