Hi Tracy;
WOW, 20 clicks AND cold start!   Good grief it's cold up there.
Thanks for the feedback Todd.  I'm using about 4 - 6 clicks in mild weather with mix at full rich but without cold start.  Based on your experience and what I'm seeing here in Fla. I will increase the primer pulse width.  
Yeah It's even colder this week (-21C), but I don't have time to fly this week anyways. Maybe next week. But I will certainly be happy to have a little more prime. Have there been any other updates since the release of the primer function that I could benefit from?
 
Concerning your EM2 display glitch,  did you extend the cable between the DAQ module and the display?  If it is over 3 or so feet you are probably getting self induced crosstalk in the cable.  There is a filter mod that will take care of that.  I'll be glad to install it and the auto tune if you like.
    I didn't extend the cable, but I did add another D sub-connector at the panel end. Hard to explain why, but if you could see how I've made the panel modular for maintenance/installation, it would be clear. I did shield all wires properly in a cabled bundle, and no known noise inducing wires (such as injector wires) are nearby. So hopefully the filter mod will solve it. Does this need to be returned for this mod, or can I install it? Same question for the autotune, I assume it is just a direct chip replacement.
 
Ps. Did you ever get any progress with that datalogger software company that I pointed your way last year?
