Handx,

Most people just remove the riser, unless you are using it in very cold weather, it should be no problem.

I live in Tacoma, Wa and my 64 starts and runs fine on cold days, maybe have to leave the choke closed a minute or two more, but runs fine when warm, using your trucl in Louisiana should be no problem without the riser my self, I would just remove it.
