You got some good sugestions in previous posts.
Especially on shutting off the fuel tank if it is
to sit for a while.
Fords ( I have a 640, 860, 2000, 3000, ) like to
start best at closed throtle or at the most only
open a notch - Mine idle in the 600 - 700 RPM
range and poitively won't start if the throtle is
open enough to put it in the 1000 RPM range.
Start cranking with no choke. Then if need pul
out the choke and push it back open at once. This
is often enough to start. You may have to pull
out the choke again to keep it running. If it
fires or run a short time and dies you may have to
use full choke to re start.
I have replaced the metal tube that comes from the
air cleaner to the carb with a spiral fexable
radiator hose so it is easy to disconnect at the
carb to give it a shot of starting fluid. Mine
will usually start to -30. Some are sheded but
most are outdoors and there is no electricity
where thay are used so engine heaters are out.

Hope this helps you. The NAA are good machines,
don't do anything drastic.
