he thinks the cold start valve is at fault, and has taken it out and cleaned it up, but it is just as bad.

What else would you suggest he could try, as its getting tiresome! I remember something similar happening with my old 90 years ago, but i got rid of it before it was bad enough to need sorting out.

Any advice appreciated. Cheers.
Just unplug the cold start injector totally...

It's a pain in the arse for the likes of the UK climate... All of ours are disconnected.

Hopefully that might help prevent flooding it....
