I had a heck of a time getting mine going this morning. Any of you northerners have any tricks for cold weather starting?

What was wrong? The solution? The problem was getting it to run for that half second so that the choke could take over. They told me to give it one full twist and then let off. Then give it a quarter twist while I fire it up. Worked just fine...however, I had already attempted to fire it up a couple of times. I will judge whether it works or not when it's cold again tomorrow morning. |

Old trick I learned from the wise. Cold temps mean it'll run lean. You need more fuel, less air to start. Stuff a rag into the air intake while starting. Remove the rag once it's running. Works like a charm. Hmmm, I think I'll post this in the "tips & tricks" too.

I tried your rag solution. took the air filter out, stuffed a rag down the tube. started than sucked the rag down into the carb.

I wasn't talking about removing the filter. Just covering the intake to the airbox. Hope you got the rag out of the carb. C'mon, that has to be a joke. ;D
