Question Cold Idle Issues

I have tried to do a search but didn't really find anything helpful. I have tried several things that I have read about, but still can't get my cold starts right. Warm it fires right up and holds idle, but on cold it wants to surge for about 20sec then will hold the idle. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

How big is your cam?

What is your Main VE table set at?

I have a 230 230 cam and my VE table is 60-65-70, and it idles and starts fine, hot or cold.

Main VE - I have tried everything from 60-70-80 to stock. Nothing really seems to help much.
